Uncover the hidden risks of asbestos in soils, ensuring a safer environment for your team and compliance with stringent regulations, with asbestos Testing, Inspection, Compliance and Consultancy services from Lucion.
When assessing and managing land contamination, asbestos is frequently a key contaminant of concern that presents a risk to human health and therefore needs consideration under relevant environmental legislation, such as Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the National Planning Policy Framework. Your project’s success often hinges on a safe and risk-free environment. We work according to relevant contaminated land and asbestos in soils industry guidance, ensuring your project complies with the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 and environmental legislation.
We are here to support you in assessing and managing land contamination and hazardous waste, particularly asbestos risks. Lucion’s expertise in hazardous materials compliance services ensures that potential asbestos issues are identified, suitably assessed and appropriately managed, allowing your project to proceed safely.
For projects involving asbestos in soils, we provide a comprehensive, pragmatic, stepped approach from initial review and preliminary risk assessment to on-site supervision, inspection, sampling, laboratory testing and monitoring. Our process ensures robust data, information and advice, aligning with current guidance.
Our Services
Testing
We conduct a range of UKAS accredited hazardous materials laboratory tests, including soil screening, identification and quantification analysis. Additionally, we offer Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) testing for asbestos air monitoring to provide a lower limit of detection and fibre discrimination. Our UKAS ISO 17025 accredited hazardous materials laboratory operates under the legal entity Lucion Services.
Lucion Services is a UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 2569 and inspection body No. 0263 in relation to asbestos.
Inspection
Our site assessments and sampling methods are designed to identify the presence of asbestos contamination, enabling a ‘lines of evidence’ approach and appropriate recommendations if there are risks of exposure to asbestos.
Compliance
Navigating a range of regulations and guidance, we ensure your project complies through our comprehensive reports and cloud-based NexGen documentation supporting your project needs.
Specialist Consultancy
We offer specialised asbestos in soil advice, interpretative asbestos reports and Asbestos Management Plans (AMP) to identify associated risks and provide effective control and protection strategies to manage those risks.
