Testimonials

I recently attended Lucion’s Asbestos Awareness course at Severn Trent in Coventry. The course was led by Technical Consultant Adam Lomas, who demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise throughout the session.
Adam went above and beyond to ensure all participants fully understood the material. His breadth of knowledge across the subject matter was evident, and he handled questions with professionalism and clarity.

Adam is a real credit to Lucion, and I would highly recommend this course to anyone requiring asbestos awareness training.

Roy Clifton Severn Trent

We’ve worked with Lucion Services since 2018, and they’ve become an invaluable partner to our CP&P Minor Works team. Managing hundreds of projects a year across Manchester’s diverse portfolio, from our historic Town Hall to schools and leisure centres, requires a partner who truly understands our needs.

What sets Lucion apart is their responsiveness and consistency. Whether it’s a planned survey or an emergency requiring a 4-hour response, they deliver without compromising on quality. Their team knows our properties and procedures, and they communicate clearly with all our stakeholders. They’re not just contractors, they’re trusted partners in keeping our buildings safe and compliant.

Team Lead Manchester City Council

I wanted to just say a quick thank you for the work you have put in on the Wimbledon site and, in particular, the call that we held with the ET SHE management team – They advised that they were really impressed with the points that you covered and how you came across (and by association Lucion) in your advice.

We’ve worked with Lucion for over 13 years now, and they’ve become a real part of our team at City of York Council. Whether it’s tackling big planned projects or responding quickly when something unexpected comes up, Lucion always delivers. They’ve helped us tighten up our compliance processes and make sure we’re keeping our residents and members of the public safe, something we really value. Their team is easy to work with, always keeps us in the loop, and brings real expertise to every job. We trust them completely with the safety of our housing and commercial properties.

Paul Simpson Compliance Manager

Lucion has proven to be an invaluable partner in managing our asbestos compliance requirements since 2016. Their resident-focused approach, combined with technical expertise, has made them a trusted presence across our housing portfolio.  

Their surveyors’ professional appearance and conduct have helped build resident confidence, while their thorough reporting and project management ensure we maintain the highest standards of safety. The renewal of our contract to 2029 reflects our confidence in their continued excellence.

Asbestos Risk Assessment FAQ

An Asbestos Risk Assessment is a thorough examination of potential hazards associated with asbestos in a specific environment. It helps identify risks, evaluate their severity, and implement measures to minimise or eliminate them. This process is essential to protect individuals from asbestos exposure and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

A risk assessment should be reviewed regularly, especially when there are changes in the workplace environment or situation. This ensures that the assessment remains current and effective in identifying and managing asbestos-related risks. Regular inspections and reviews contribute to ongoing safety and compliance efforts.

Asbestos re-inspection surveys encourage the safe management of your building and the ongoing risk of asbestos. Should they be needed, asbestos demolition surveys can help identify and remove asbestos before demolition.

Conducting asbestos risk assessments, implementing your risk aversion measures and reviewing their effectiveness on-site can be a time-consuming process for you as the duty holder.

To ensure your team and contractors are protected from potential risks of asbestos exposures, procuring an external asbestos risk assessment consultant can save you both time and money. By building the correct health and safe systems of work (SSOW), ensuring your documentation is correct, and implementing effective control measures, accidental asbestos exposures and unnecessary risks can be avoided.

An asbestos risk assessment plays a crucial role in promoting workplace safety by identifying potential asbestos hazards, assessing their risks, and recommending effective control measures. This proactive approach helps prevent accidental exposure to levels of asbestos, ensuring the well-being of employees, contractors, and the public.

The responsibility typically falls on the duty holder, who must manage asbestos risks in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 . While duty holders may conduct assessments themselves, many choose to engage external consultants for impartial, expert evaluations.

At Lucion, we also offer asbestos training – like the UKATA Asbestos Awareness and UKATA Duty to Manage Asbestos courses – meaning we can support the duty holder with their understanding and awareness of asbestos and how to approach managing it.
