WHAT QUALIFICATIONS SHOULD AN ASBESTOS SURVEYOR HAVE?

ARE YOU UNDERTAKING AN ASBESTOS SURVEY?

HERE IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!

 
 

If you're in the market for an asbestos survey, it can be tempting to choose the cheapest option available. But have you taken the time to examine the qualifications, accreditations, and reviews of the company to ensure they can provide the services you need?

Unfortunately, some companies will attempt to hide the lack of the correct ISO accreditation (in Asbestos Inspection ISO17020) using a multitude of other lesser and non-relevant accreditations. Some will even state they are UKAS accredited and put a UKAS ISO9001 certificate in the place of the ISO17020 for inspection of asbestos.

The dangers of hiring a non UKAS ISO17020 accredited company are significant. These include, but are not limited too:

  • Vague and incomplete reports

  • Improper or outdated recommendations

  • Inadequate insurance for the task

  • Lack of quality-assured complaint procedures with no recourse for poor work

  • Incomplete surveys that miss Asbestos Products

  • Poor or missing plans making identification on site very difficult

The above items are some of the common issues encountered when using non-accredited UKAS ISO-17020 companies to undertake your asbestos inspections. With a UKAS accredited company working to ISO-17020 you can be assured that your works is conducted independently and impartially and the company is audited to help ensure this standard is continually met.
