Securing Educational Environments – Our Asbestos School Surveys

At Asbestos Surveys Essex, we prioritise the safety and well-being of students, staff and visitors in educational settings. Our specialised asbestos surveys for schools are designed identify, assess and manage asbestos risks, ensuring a safe and compliant environment.

Many school buildings, particularly older ones, may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). If disturbed, these materials pose serious health risks, making proper management and regular inspections essential. 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. Our expert team conducts comprehensive asbestos surveys tailored to educational institutions, helping to prevent exposure and maintain a secure learning space. Regular asbestos surveys in schools are not just a safety precaution – they are a legal requirement to ensure the ongoing protection 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:

  • Property/building address
  • Type of survey undertaken
