2. Do I need an asbestos survey for my business?

commercial premises, such as an office, shop or
industrial site built before 2000 in the UK, then you need
to have an up to date asbestos management survey in
place and available for inspection.

4. Why is asbestos considered dangerous?
Although use of asbestos in the UK was banned in
1999, many buildings built before then are likely to
contain large quantities of asbestos or asbestos
containing materials (ACMs). When asbestos is
handled or disturbed in some way, it can release fine
fibres that are potentially harmful when breathed in
and can become lodged in the lungs. As well as
causing lung cancer, asbestos is known to cause a
range of other lung diseases.
5. What type of asbestos survey will I
need?
• At Easy EPC we carry out two types of asbestos survey
for commercial clients. The first type is a management
survey (previously referred to as a type 2 asbestos
survey) where we aim to locate the presence of any
asbestos containing materials.
• The second type of asbestos is a refurbishment and
demolition survey (previously a type 3 asbestos survey),
and is far more intrusive.
