I inspected the property during the Covid-19 lockdown period. Upon inspection I did a lateral flow test. During my inspection I wore a mask and gloves. I used hand sanitiser before and after the inspection.

Question 5

What would you do if you suspected asbestos existed on a site inspection?

I would carry out a dynamic risk assessment to reassess if it was safe to inspect the property. I would only inspect if it were safe.

I would recommend that my client either themselves or inform the duty holder to carry out an asbestos survey and report. The duty holder is either the owner or occupier (tenant with an FRI lease).

If an asbestos is found a management plan including asbestos register containing the location and condition of the asbestos should be included in the report.
