Securing Educational Environments – Our Asbestos School Surveys

At Asbestos Surveys Essex, our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff in educational settings. Our specialized asbestos surveys for schools and academic areas are designed to provide peace of mind by ensuring these environments are free of asbestos-related risks.

Asbestos, a hidden hazard in many school buildings, requires careful management and monitoring to protect students, staff, and visitors. In this section, we’ll explore the significance of asbestos surveys in schools and how our expert team can assist in creating a safe learning environment. Educational institutions, often housed in older buildings, may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These materials, if disturbed, can pose serious health risks. Regular asbestos surveys in schools are not just a safety measure; they are a legal necessity to ensure the well-being of young learners and educators.

Why We Carry Out Asbestos School Surveys?

  • Protecting Young Lives: Safety of students is non-negotiable. Schools house our future leaders, politicians, businessmen, teachers, doctors, and they all need to be protected.
  • Legal Compliance: Regulatory bodies require educational institutions to manage asbestos risks. Also, compliance with regulations is not just a legal obligation, but also a moral responsibility.
  • Peace of Mind: Parents, teachers and staff deserve peace of mind knowing that the school environment is safe to work, learn and teach in.

Frequency of re-inspection may depend on various factors, including:

  • Location of ACMs: Proximity of ACMs(Asbestos Containing Materials) to areas frequently accessed by students and staff may need more frequent re-inspections.
  • Activities in building: High-activity areas may require more frequent monitoring.
  • Non-occupancy: Period of non-occupation, such as school holidays, are the perfect time to schedule inspections.
  • Changes to maintenance programs: Equallly important, any changes in maintenance routines or activities that could affect ACMs must be considered.
  • New tenants or employees: Changes in occupancy, such as new tenants or staff, re-inspections may be required to ensure their safety.
  • Frequent Re-inspection of Schools:

The report provided will include:

  • Property/building address
  • Type of survey undertaken
  • Areas included in the survey
  • Location(s) of the ACMs (building identifier, floor number, room identifier and position within room/space)
  • Likelihood/extent of accessibility/vulnerability
