Asbestos communal surveys are an important tool used to assess the presence and condition of asbestos in a multi-occupancy building.
The surveys aim to detect possible health risks of asbestos-contained materials (ACMs) in communal areas of a property.
The survey process usually begins with a visual inspection of the premises, followed by sampling and analysis of any suspected ACMs.
The surveyor will take samples of suspicious materials and send them to an accredited laboratory for testing. If asbestos is found, it is then classified according to its type and condition. The survey findings are presented in a report, which can be used to develop further actions if necessary.
Communal surveys should be conducted regularly in multi-occupancy buildings to evaluate asbestos exposure risk and safeguard the occupants’ health and safety.

Once your survey has been completed, your report can be prepared outlining the findings and providing you with recommendations for how you can appropriately manage any potential risks associated with ACMs.
