There are three distinct types of asbestos survey that CAC Monitoring Systems Ltd are able to carry out, these are detailed below:

MDHS 100 TYPE 1 ASBESTOS SURVEY
Location and assessment survey (presumptive survey)

A Type 1 Survey is used to locate the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACM's) within a building. Positive identification of a material cannot be made as no samples are taken. Materials are either presumed or strongly presumed to be asbestos.

MDHS 100 TYPE 2 ASBESTOS SURVEY
Standard sampling, identification and assessment survey
(sampling survey)

The most common survey, a Type 2 Survey is identical to a Type 1, however representative samples of each suspected ACM are taken leading to a positive or negative identification of the material. This survey is far more useful to a building manager as firstly it complies more fully with recent legislation (Regulation 4, Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006) and secondly asbestos materials positively identified can be effectively managed.

MDHS 100 TYPE 3 ASBESTOS SURVEY
Full access sampling and identification survey
(pre-demolition/refurbishment survey)

A Type 3 Survey is identical to a Type 2 however all areas of a building, including concealed voids, wall cavities etc are accessed forcibly in an attempt to identify all ACM's within a building. This type of survey is required prior to major refurbishment to the fabric of the building or demolition.

For more information, see The Health & Safety Executives document 'MDHS 100 - Surveying, sampling and assessment of asbestos-containing materials'.
