3 WHAT WE DO There s a new, easy way to protect your business and your home from the dangers of asbestos. It s the Inspectas way. No more unreliable tradesmen. No more confusing jargon. No more mountains of paperwork. Our no-nonsense approach is all about making it as stress-free and speedy as possible to stay safe and comply with all the relevant laws. WHAT TO EXPECT Reassurance.

Because no matter how big or small the job, we ll always make sure we provide our expert advice on the spot and a full survey report within just five days of our inspection. There s no waiting and worrying.

4 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Revered for its versatility, its strength and its heat resistant properties, asbestos was considered a magic mineral until not so very long ago. Today, the mere mention of the a-word is enough to send a shiver through most people and rightly so. Asbestos is now known to be the cause of misery and ill-health the world over. It is banned in more than 50 countries and its use has been dramatically restricted in others. Despite updated asbestos regulations coming into force in 2012, asbestos remains the single greatest cause of UK work-related deaths. We re here to help steer you through the regulations relating to asbestos management and keep your people and your business safe.

5 INSPECTAS EMS SYSTEM Managing multiple properties? Multiple locations? Various asbestos management projects running at the same time? Imagine if you could keep track of all your asbestos risks anytime, anywhere without ever updating a single file. How relieved would you be if you could instantly find and share records with colleagues or the HSE? What if we told you we could make this a possibility for absolutely no extra cost? It s true! Let us introduce you to our cherished EMS system. Let it vacuum up all your old paperwork, organise your diary, respond to your information demands and generally be your all-seeing eye in all your asbestos matters. You don t even need any specialist software to feel the nice warm benefits of the system. Our customers simply login and go. Check it out at inspectas.co.uk

7 ASBESTOS COMPLIANCE Some businesses mistakenly assume they are complying with the law because they ve commissioned an asbestos survey. Assuming you re compliant or waiting for the worst to happen can be costly and dangerous. When you have Inspectas on your side nothing will be left to chance and you can have complete peace of mind. Our full compliance service is perfect for larger organisations or those handling a portfolio of properties. It s designed to bring into one place all of your asbestos compliance activity and documentation.

8 ASBESTOS SURVEYING Asbestos regulations (The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to be precise) place a legal duty on employers or premises owners to take steps to identify, manage and monitor asbestos-containing materials within their property. No need for that to sound so daunting when you have Inspectas on your side. We ll thoroughly check the safety of your premises and advise on any steps you need to take to stay protected. All our asbestos surveys are UKAS accredited and tailored to your business s needs and environment Our Management Plan is an extra feature from Inspectas. We provide a plan along with each of our surveys to set out an exact timescale and work schedule against each of the HSE recommendations that have been identified.
