At Acorn Analytical Services, we work in partnership with our clients to deliver consultancy services on time and on budget to keep them compliant with their asbestos management. In this case, we have undertaken full site asbestos management surveys, refurbishment surveys, asbestos removal project management and then the subsequent annual asbestos reinspections and UKATA asbestos awareness training. We have also undertaken desktop studies, including researching planning applications and land registries for properties that were suspected to be post 2000, but there was no evidence to prove otherwise.
CLIENT PROFILE
Starting 42 years ago, Busy Bees is the nation’s leading nursery group with 390 brilliant nurseries in the UK, Ireland, and right across the world.
BUSINESS NEED
Busy Bees was facing a challenge familiar to many businesses; they required assistance with keeping compliant with asbestos regulations which is where Acorn Analytical Services were called in to undertake comprehensive asbestos management surveys to the sites, as well as demolition & refurbishment surveys for various projects and then the ongoing annual asbestos awareness training courses for staff members and the asbestos reinspections.
Meeting such regulations is not a simple task. It requires a comprehensive understanding of the risks, ongoing monitoring and management of asbestos presence, and training of staff to ensure awareness, preparedness, and response capability should an incident occur.
THE BRIEF
How did we help?
As an independent asbestos consultancy, Acorn Analytical Services is uniquely positioned to offer a comprehensive suite of asbestos consultancy services, from asbestos air testing and asbestos surveys to asbestos removal management and UKATA accredited training. Our aim was to manage every aspect of Busy Bee’s asbestos project professionally and efficiently, delivering results on time and in-budget.
To meet Busy Bees specific needs, we undertook a number of new surveys in the United Kingdom as well as annual asbestos reinspections and refurbishment surveys. These assessments were precisely tailored to identify potential risk areas, evaluate the current state of asbestos management, and propose solutions for better compliance.
Also, we understood the importance of asbestos awareness training in managing the risks associated with the materials. Our team organised asbestos awareness training courses, refreshing the knowledge of the company’s workforce about the potential risks of asbestos exposure face to face and also online via Microsoft Teams which made it easier for Busy Bee’s to enable their Teams to join the courses without having to use a whole day for managers to travel to one training location.
