Morning all, I have two questions for those of you knowledgable in the nasty stuff... 1: A type 2 survey is conducted on a premises. As part of the Asbestos Management Plan, ACM's in good condition are left and checked annually. Who should / is competent to do this? A professional asbestos surveyor? A HS Manager who has been on an asbestos awareness course....? 2: Who is deemed competent to undertake type 2 surveys? Is P402 all that is required or do you require UKAS acreditation / Professional (Chartered?) Membership of something, somewhere? To put it in context, if a company owned a number of large industrial estates could they train someone up in-house to undertake inspections and surveys and if so to what standard? Thanks for reading, Best Regards, Ian

When you say the company owns a number of large industrial estates, does the company occupy all of the buildings or are they let out? If so you should check terms of the lease as it may be the leasee's responsilbilty.

Hi Smurf, Some are let, some are occupied and it's not covered by the lease. Br Ian

Q1 - any person who knows what they are looking at, remember that the survey will have found (??) the asbestos so its only a check of the condition, you don't need to go hunting for more. Q2 - No legal requirement at all - however P402 is the industry base line standard, more importantly the P402 chapie / chapess should really be working for a UKAS company. Q3 - suggest p405 if doing inhouse as this covers P402 and also managing drop me an email for advice if you want

P402 is the minimum recognised standard, or you can look at the RSPH http://www.rsph.org.uk/e...0A-4068-B8F8F5C11415B731 If you are mad enough you can consider all the BOHS modules (P402) and attend the oral examination for your Certified Competent Person status, but where do you draw the line with UKAS requirements. It won't be long before we run out of surveyors, or analysts as almost everyone needs CCP status nowadays and the waiting list with BOHS has been huge over recent years. Monopoly?
