Asbestos is a proven carcinogenic
agent. In October 2002 the CAWR 2002 replaced existing
asbestos regulations. Under these new regulations it is
a legal requirement for those in control of buildings
to develop an asbestos register and management plan in
accordance with the requirements of MDHS 100. ESP Environmental

management decisions.
ESP has qualified staff with extensive experience carrying
out asbestos surveys, abatement and removal supervision.
These services fulfil the requirements of commercial,
industrial and government clients during operations, maintenance,

Services and Capabilities Asbestos services consist of the
following:
Asbestos surveys (Types 1,2 &3)
Compliance air monitoring
Consultations
Exposure assessments
Operation and maintenance procedures
An
initial survey by experienced staff is a crucial first
step in asbestos management. This is a cost-effective
means of identifying the presence of major classes of
suspect asbestos containing materials. Conclusions are
provided regarding the need for further assessment and
abatement.
A full comprehensive survey involves a significant higher
level of assessment and requires samplings and analysis
of each suspect ACM on the site. A full survey would typically
include an estimation of material quantities making it
possible to estimate the removal cost involved. Assessments
are carried out to evaluate potential risk of exposure,
establish priorities and to determine viable corrective
actions. These corrective actions can be in the form of
removal, encapsulation, enclosure, management in situ
or any combination of the listed.
ESP has experienced professionals that can act as on-site
representatives to observe work practices and provide
air monitoring.
Complementary
Services ESP has a range of complementary services
including, stack emissions monitoring, atmospheric dispersion
modelling, environmental noise assessment, asbestos, legionella
risk assessment and water/waste water management.
