Overview

Where a building is known or presumed to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) an asbestos survey must be completed in order to establish the following:

  • whether ACMs are present and if so record what specifically they are, where and how much there is
  • a record of how accessible it is, its condition, and any surface treatment
  • a record of the asbestos type

There are two types of survey for asbestos containing materials.  The first is a management survey, the purpose of which is to enable the management of the material during the normal use of the building.  The second is a refurbishment or demolition survey which is required where the building or part of it are being upgraded, refurbished or demolished.

This proficiency BOHS module provides background and practical knowledge in the surveying of buildings for asbestos and any necessary bulk sampling that may be required. It also provides general guidance on the management procedures necessary to minimise exposure to any identified asbesto.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
