Bureau Veritas Total Asbestos Management
Overview
Currently between 3500 and 4000 die every year from asbestos-related diseases and by the year 2020 it is predicted that 625,000 deaths directly related to asbestos exposure will have occurred.
The disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) is still occurring but all these incidents and the exposures they cause are avoidable by using one simple process – an Asbestos Management Plan. Unless an adequate assessment has been made of the risks from ACM and steps taken to ensure they are not disturbed, then these exposures will continue to put building occupants and users at risk.

According to Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2006), if you own, occupy, manage or have responsibility for property you have a legal duty to assess and manage the risk from ACM. You must take reasonable steps to identify ACM, if necessary, by presuming the presence of asbestos until proven otherwise.
The cornerstone of an Asbestos Management Plan is an Asbestos Register. This will list areas where ACM are present, highlight the risks posed and make recommendations. More often than not the ACM can remain in situ. In our experience, the majority of asbestos within buildings is not high risk.
