Process of Crafting an Asbestos Survey Report

Creating an accurate and comprehensive asbestos survey report is a meticulous process that entails reviewing, analysing, and documenting the findings collected by asbestos surveyors.

Here’s a basic overview of how an asbestos survey report is prepared at Acorn Analytical Services, in line with our commitment to excellence and compliance with set guidelines:

Review of Submitted Data:
Initially, the data collected by asbestos surveyors from field inspections is uploaded to our in-house system, Alphatracker. This data forms the foundation of the asbestos survey report.
A thorough review of the submitted data is conducted to ensure that all required elements have been captured accurately. This includes checking for any spelling mistakes or missing information that may affect the accuracy and completeness of the report.

Verification of Recommendations:
The recommendations provided by the asbestos surveyors are then reviewed to ensure they are in line with the established guidelines. This step is crucial to ensure that the advice given is accurate, relevant, and compliant with industry standards.

Report Generation:
Utilising the Alphatracker system, a Microsoft Word document is generated which forms the draft of the asbestos survey report. This document encompasses all the collected data and recommendations reviewed in the previous steps.

Drawing Building Plans:
An essential component of the asbestos survey report is the inclusion of basic building plans which illustrate the areas surveyed and the locations of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) if any. These plans are drafted using Microsoft Visio or AutoCAD, which allows for precision and clarity in depicting the surveyed areas.

Final Quality Check:
Before the report is finalised, a comprehensive quality check is conducted. This encompasses a review of the text, the recommendations, and the drawings to ensure that everything is accurate and in line with client and regulatory requirements.
Any discrepancies found are rectified, and the report is revised as necessary to ensure it meets the high standards set by Acorn Analytical Services.

Report Finalisation:
Upon satisfactory completion of all the above steps, the asbestos survey report is finalised and prepared for distribution to the client. The finalised report is a testament to the rigorous process, attention to detail, and commitment to quality that is a hallmark of the services provided by Acorn Analytical Services. This detailed process ensures that our asbestos survey reports are not only compliant with industry standards but also provide clear, accurate, and valuable information to our clients, aiding them in making informed decisions regarding asbestos management and remediation.
