In recent years, with the prolonged lifespan of buildings and the increase in renovation projects, asbestos (asbestos) surveys are starting to place importance not only on "conducting surveys" but also on history management per building unit and information sharing among stakeholders.
On the other hand, there are many cases where surveys, analysis, and construction are fragmented, and challenges remain in accumulating information for each building and continuous quality management.
Metalab Co., Ltd. has now released an interview article titled "Learning from the Forefront of Renovation Work: The Ideal State of Asbestos Surveys," featuring Mr. Takeshi Chiba, Manager of the Safety Management Department, Technical Management Division, Value Production Center, Tanseisha Co., Ltd., and Mr. Shingo Mitsui, Representative Director of Alfred Co., Ltd., an analysis company.
In this interview, opinions were exchanged from their respective standpoints on the practical aspects of asbestos surveys in renovation sites, quality management, the necessity of survey history management, and the collaboration among survey, analysis, and construction.
■ Key Points of the Interview
- Asbestos surveys as part of "construction quality management"
The necessity of viewing asbestos surveys not just as legal compliance, but as part of the overall quality management and risk management for renovation projects, is increasing.
The interview also discussed information sharing required on site and collaboration with construction management.
- Importance of "property unit" history management
We believe that continuously accumulating and sharing asbestos survey results as historical information for each building, rather than managing them as one-off reports, will lead to improved quality in future renovation and maintenance work.
The interview also exchanged opinions on the concept of property management and the necessity of continuous quality management utilizing past survey histories.
- Collaboration and neutrality connecting survey, analysis, and construction
In this interview, discussions were held on quality management and information sharing in asbestos surveys from the perspectives of survey, analysis, and construction.
Opinions were also exchanged on appropriate division of roles and ensuring third-party neutrality in survey, analysis, and construction.
