Asbestos Containing Material Management

Surveys, assessments, reporting and recommendations for asbestos containing materials across defence platforms and estates.
WHY THIS MATTERS

Legacy build methods, present-day duties.

Many defence platforms and estate buildings were constructed or maintained using materials that are now recognised as containing asbestos. Where asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are present, organisations carry duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, including the duty to manage under Regulation 4 for non-domestic premises.

Refit, maintenance, alteration and disposal work can all be delayed or complicated where ACM status is unclear. Getting a clear, evidenced position early avoids work stopping unexpectedly once it is already under way.

WHAT WE DO

From survey to a workable management position.

Each engagement is built around the platform, building or equipment in question, and the decisions it needs to support.

1
Asbestos surveys
Management surveys and refurbishment or demolition surveys across platforms, buildings and equipment, identifying where ACMs are present and their condition.
2
Risk assessment
Assessing identified ACMs for condition and likelihood of disturbance, so effort is prioritised against genuine risk rather than treated uniformly.
3
Reporting
A clear, actionable register of ACM locations, condition and risk, written to be usable by non-specialist teams as well as your own compliance function.
4
Recommendations
Practical next steps — encapsulation, management in place, or removal — with a prioritised action plan rather than a single blanket recommendation.
HOW WE HELP

Independent surveys, evidence you can act on.

We help you build and maintain the asbestos management position your duty of care requires, so that refit, maintenance and disposal work can proceed with a clear picture of what is present and what it means.
