Welcome to
MDHS Asbestos Consultants Ltd - Asbestos Surveys

By Law you must have an asbestos management plan such as that provided by an asbestos survey conducted on any non-domestic property that is over 8 years old. OK, but what’s the worst that can happen if you don’t comply with the law?

As well as potentially putting at risk the health of your staff and customers, the duty holder could be liable for any or all of the following:

Closure of the premises
Personal fines of up to £20,000
Disqualification from Directorship
A custodial sentence

These might sound like extreme measures but asbestos is potentially a very dangerous substance - currently in the UK, 3,500 people die each year as a result of exposure to asbestos.

In addition, many insurance companies may refuse to renew your policy unless you have identified any potential asbestos risks and developed an asbestos management plan.

The solution is very simple – an asbestos survey from MDHS. Our comprehensive survey conducted by qualified professionals, identifies any risks and recommends, what action if any, is required and the cost is from as little as £200 depending on the size and condition of your building.

In addition to the peace of mind that protecting the environment and complying with the law brings, you could also benefit from lower insurance premiums and improved resale value.

Asbestos Survey

We are a group of independent Asbestos Surveyors carrying out Asbestos Survey work to help companies comply with the recently up-dated asbestos survey legislation “Control of Asbestos in the Workplace” 2006.

All of our staff who carry out Asbestos Surveys are qualified to the appropriate level to produce an Asbestos Building Survey under the current regulations.

Within an asbestos survey an asbestos surveyor must identify all materials either thought to contain asbestos or ones which could be mistaken for asbestos.

There are three levels of asbestos survey report which can be produced by asbestos surveying, namely Type 1 2 or 3.

Each one fits a relevant situation, the most commonly carried out by an asbestos surveyor UK is a Type 2 survey whereby in addition to a complete survey of the building any suspect materials are tested in a laboratory to determine the presence of asbestos.

This gives a definitive picture of the composition of your building.

Contact us today by the link at the top or side of the page and one of our asbestos surveyors UK will visit you and give you a quotation for carrying out the relevant survey to your situation.

Asbestos Training

One of the features of the new Asbestos Control Regulations embodied in the “Control of Asbestos in the Workplace” 2006 issued by the government this November 2006 is the need for Asbestos Training for operatives who come into contact with asbestos in their daily work.

It is not sufficient that workers have Asbestos Training just to recognise the various types of materials which are dangerous but they must have Asbestos Training which covers the whole range of awareness and protection.

Specific asbestos training must be given to cover the wearing of protective work-wear as well as asbestos training to recognise the many building products containing asbestos.

In order to avoid a future compensation claim you must make sure your Asbestos Building Survey is carried out by a competent surveyor and your workers have sufficient asbestos training to understand the contents of an asbestos report .

Asbestos Awareness Training

At MDHS Consultants we have developed an "Asbestos Awareness Training" course which covers all the “need to know” points in the new 2006 legislation.

We have developed an easy to understand Asbestos Awareness Training course which is relevant to both your health and safety professional and an on-site worker.

Our Asbestos Awareness Training can be delivered in your own offices or on site to minimise loss of work time or if large numbers are involved in a suitable venue

Everybody attending our Asbestos Awareness Training will get full course notes for future reference and a certificate of attendance.

It has been our expierience over the last few years that operative’s sub-contracting for the larger organisations have to prove attendance at a suitable Asbestos Awareness Training UK course.

With insurance companies being ever more demanding of the level of competence of the workers or sub-contractors their clients employ, proof of Asbestos Awareness Training UK is a must have piece of paper.

MDHS Consultants‘s Asbestos Awareness Training consists of two information sessions linked by a short DVD which brings together all of the content that is necessary to know for the course.

Asbestos Management

The need for Asbestos Management of your premises will be covered in our Asbestos Management Plan; each one is taylor-made to fit your particular building.

In addition to identifying the presence of asbestos in your building an Asbestos Risk Assessment must also be included within the.

Our Asbestos Risk Management report will show you and your staff all aspect of what is required for safe Asbestos Management.

It is laid out in an easy to understand format showing each individual point in your building where asbestos exists and what Asbestos Management is required to keep it safe.

It further shows all the areas of asbestos on a site plan so outside workers who may not be totally familiar with your site will be able to identify their position and carry out the appropriate asbestos management efficiently and safely.

Asbestos Consultant

MDHS Consultants are a completely independent group of asbestos consultants and are not connected in any way with any other asbestos consultant or removal companies.

When we act as asbestos consultant on your behalf we act entirely for your benefit and carry out our asbestos consultant brief with no other motive than your best interests.

The new legislation for asbestos reporting stated that all asbestos consultant should be independent thereby eliminating any clash of interests where removal work may be required.

Here at MDHS Consultants when we act as your Asbestos Consultant UK in the event that removal work is required we would show you listings of accredited companies and let you make the choice.

Once that choice is made by yourself we are happy to act as your Asbestos Consultants UK to price and oversee the work carried out.
