Asbestos Management

Asbestos Management: Minimise Risk, Maximise Safety

Asbestos doesn't always require removal. Sometimes, careful management is the safest and most practical solution.

At J.S. Environmental Ltd, we understand that asbestos removal isn't always necessary or feasible. In many cases, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) pose minimal risk if they are in good condition and undisturbed. Our expert team provides comprehensive asbestos management services to help you safely coexist with asbestos in your property, ensuring compliance with UK regulations and peace of mind.

When is Asbestos Management Appropriate?

Asbestos management is often the preferred approach when:

• Asbestos is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed.
• Removal would be overly disruptive or costly.
• The asbestos is located in a difficult-to-access area.

Our Asbestos Management Services

We offer a range of asbestos management solutions tailored to your specific needs:

Asbestos Encapsulation

Encapsulation involves sealing the asbestos-containing material to prevent the release of harmful fibres. We utilise various proven techniques, including:

• Spray Coatings: Applying a sealant to create a protective barrier over the asbestos.
• Enclosures: Building a physical barrier around the asbestos, such as a box or wrap.

J.S. Environmental have been at the forefront of developing innovative encapsulation methods, providing effective long-term solutions for managing asbestos for decades.

Asbestos Inspections and Monitoring

Regular inspections are crucial to monitor the condition of ACMs and identify any signs of deterioration. Our experienced surveyors conduct thorough inspections, providing detailed reports and recommendations for ongoing management.

We also offer asbestos monitoring programmes to assess the level of airborne fibres, ensuring your environment remains safe.

Bespoke Asbestos Management Plans

We develop comprehensive asbestos management plans, specifically designed for your property, that outline clear procedures for managing asbestos on-site. These plans include all the essential elements required by UK regulations, such as:

• Clear Responsibility: Clearly identifying who is responsible for managing asbestos, including designated deputies.
• Detailed Asbestos Register: A comprehensive register of all identified ACMs, including a site plan showing their locations and any areas not inspected.
• Monitoring Schedule: A defined schedule for regularly monitoring the condition of ACMs to ensure they remain stable.
• Information Sharing: Procedures for effectively sharing the asbestos register with workers and contractors who may encounter ACMs during maintenance or other works.
• Control Measures: Strict control arrangements to prevent accidental disturbance of ACMs, including clear signage and access restrictions.
