Asbestos data management - SQN

Asbestos Management Surveys.

An Asbestos Management Survey is the standard asbestos survey required on any building, and an important step to producing your Asbestos Management Plan.

Its primary objective is to identify the presence and extent of potential Asbestos Containing Materials within the building that might be at risk of damage or disturbance during regular use. Our experienced team is equipped to deliver top-tier asbestos survey solutions across the nation, ensuring the safety and compliance of your property.

Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys.

Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys play a crucial role in identifying and detailing Asbestos Containing Materials, especially in areas slated for intrusive maintenance, repair, refurbishment, or demolition activities.

This survey necessitates comprehensive access, even to challenging-to-reach areas. Conducting Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys is not just best practice; it's a stringent regulatory requirement. Any Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) with management or control over a workplace is obligated to undertake these surveys before initiating any refurbishment or demolition work. Ensuring safety and compliance is paramount, and our expert team is well-equipped to assist you in meeting these essential obligations.

Re-inspection Asbestos Surveys.

Over time, Asbestos Containing Materials can degenerate or be accidentally damaged, causing the level of risk to change substantially.

The New Zealand law requires that their condition be inspected regularly, and records updated accordingly. Our asbestos surveyors can re-inspect premises and provide these updates to ensure compliance information is maintained and the original asbestos survey data is used effectively.

Asbestos removal project management - SQN

Asbestos Removal Project Management.

Asbestos Removal Projects can be time-consuming, expensive and a high-liability exercises to undertake.

Like any specialised project, the specification, procurement and management of the works should be undertaken, or at least coordinated, by an experienced, qualified Asbestos Consultant.

By assisting you with the Asbestos Removal Management specification and tender process, we ensure both regulatory and client procurement process compliance. Our comprehensive approach to the tender process includes tender administration, management of contractor site visits, technical evaluation of the tender returns, as well as fact-based, independent recommendations for asbestos removal contractor appointments.

We also have a panel of recommended and approved asbestos removal contractors who are regularly audited through our quality management system. This gives our clients the reassurance of removal quality, competitive pricing and mitigates the risk of going to the market with any uncertainty.

After we finish removing asbestos, you need assurance that it's all gone and there is no risk of contamination from released fibres. We offer a certificate to confirm this. We'll check the area in stages to make sure it's clean and safe for use again.

Licensed assessors - SQN

Licensed Assessors.

Our Licensed Assessors have extensive knowledge and hands-on experience identifying, sampling, and working with asbestos, and understand the risks involved.

The New Zealand law requires that their condition be inspected regularly, and records updated accordingly. Our asbestos surveyors can re-inspect premises and provide these updates to ensure compliance information is maintained and the original asbestos survey data is used effectively.

We work together with you and Asbestos Removal Contractors to achieve safety of your teams, projects and premises.
