Asbestos Management in Schools

AMC Asbestos supports many schools and higher education providers to safely manage any asbestos present in their facilities. Working with educators across the UK and Ireland, we have provided ongoing guidance, offering fully tailored asbestos management plans and regular inspection services, as well as end to end removal projects.
Ongoing asbestos maintenance
The team at AMC have conducted many comprehensive asbestos surveys of all types within educational facilities all over the country. With us, you’ll get ongoing expert guidance to guarantee the safety of your site. We offer tailored asbestos management plans following your survey that clearly detail any additional actions, as required.
The most common survey we undertake in education facilities is an asbestos management survey. This is a non-intrusive inspection of any asbestos containing materials (ACMs) on the site and can involve taking samples of the materials to assess their condition.
The reports generated following these surveys are used to update the Asbestos Register for your facilities. They will also include any recommendations for how to best manage on-site ACMs, typically through monitoring, encapsulation, or removal.
You can be sure that when working with us, you’ll get a fully trained, competent surveyor, who uses safe and appropriate methods for asbestos surveying and testing. We will deliver accurate and reliable reports following each visit to your site for re-inspection.
We know how busy education facilities are and how thinly stretched both teaching and support staff can be. That’s why our asbestos surveyors make it straightforward for your site team to complete all the necessary steps to ensure you remain compliant with asbestos regulations and protect the safety of everyone who works on, studies in, and visits your site.
Training your team
Where the asbestos present does not present a threat and removal is not required, we work with your team of caretakers to manage the ACMs. Our asbestos experts deliver face-to-face training on site to show your team exactly where the hazardous materials are and what steps, if any, are required to ensure they remain safe.
We help create your asbestos management plan (AMP), offer detailed guidance and outline the actions required so that there is no risk of dangerous asbestos fibres being exposed on your site. AMPs include the identification and risk assessment for ACMs and controls for their ongoing maintenance, including sealing or encapsulation, clear signage, re-inspection schedules, and action plans for removal or remediation where necessary.
In the unlikely event of an asbestos emergency, where damage has been caused to the ACMs, our experts will have trained your team to respond quickly and effectively, ensuring the continued safety of everyone on site. We also offer a 24-hour emergency helpline on 01759 307 412, so are always contactable should you need us.
End to end asbestos removal projects
If, following an asbestos survey, the condition of any asbestos containing materials mean they must be removed, our team can work with you to safely and efficiently do so.
We have supported education providers with fully managed, end to end asbestos removal projects all over the UK and Ireland. Throughout the work, we ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum while maintaining strict safety standards.
Our experts oversee the entire removal process, helping with scope writing, auditing, analytical appointments and any required sign offs following the asbestos removal.
