Question: Asbestos surveys
We are a national retailer that leases shop units throughout the UK, with around 450 stores nationwide. When we acquire a new store, we refurbish it to our corporate identity. Usually we are only able to get a type 2 asbestos survey from the landlords. However, I feel that is not extensive enough so we have a type 3 survey carried out (and have any ACMs removed) at our expense before fitting out the store. Are we in fact legally obliged to carry out a type 3 asbestos survey before carrying out this work?

My colleague's manager received the accident book report and spoke to him requesting that minor accidents of this type should not be reported in the accident books. Our company owner receives all accident reports and he is outspokenly frustrated at the frequency that 'petty' accidents/incidents are reported. Help ... I am currently writing an accident reporting and investigation procedure, with definitions of when and how to report accidents and incidents, so any advice on the most sensible approach would be appreciated.
