This heavily illustrated publication replaces and expands on MDHS100, Surveying,
sampling and assessment of asbestos-containing materials. It is aimed at people
carrying out asbestos surveys and people with specific responsibilities for managing
asbestos in non-domestic premises under the Control of Asbestos Regulations
2006. The book covers competence and quality assurance and surveys, including:
survey planning, carrying out surveys, the survey report and the dutyholder’s use of
the survey information. It includes extensive appendices and references.
Update: Since publication of this guide in 2010 the ABICS scheme mentioned in paragraph 24 has been discontinued. This scheme was specifically designed to certificate individual surveyor competence. There is at present no replacement scheme for individuals. However surveying organisations of all sizes can still demonstrate competence through obtaining UKAS accreditation. In addition, clients can also appoint other organisations or individuals provided they are competent. In these situations clients should seek evidence of competence through obtaining details of qualifications, experience, written quality control procedures and references. More details are set out in Chapter 2 of the Guide.
