Case Study: Safeguarding a Food Production Facility with Expert Asbestos Management

The Challenge:

When a major food production company planned an internal refurbishment, they faced a significant hurdle – outdated asbestos records. With multiple large production areas and a two-storey office block, ensuring compliance with asbestos regulations was essential. Without an up-to-date survey, there was a risk of exposure, project delays, and regulatory non-compliance. They needed a trusted expert to assess their site quickly and thoroughly, minimising disruption to their operations.

Oracle’s Response:

Recognising the urgency, Oracle Solutions swiftly assembled a highly experienced team to undertake both a management survey across the entire site and a targeted refurbishment survey focused on the planned renovation areas. Our objective was clear: to provide a complete asbestos risk assessment while maintaining business continuity.

With two senior surveyors and a trainee on-site, the team navigated the complex environment over two days, ensuring the process was both efficient and precise.

Thorough Site Induction: Our surveyors conducted a detailed walkthrough of the facility, engaging with site personnel to understand specific requirements and potential challenges.
Internal Audit Compliance: As part of our UKAS accreditation commitment, we performed an internal audit to uphold the highest industry standards.
Clear Communication: Throughout the survey, our team maintained a strong rapport with the client, keeping them informed at every stage and addressing any concerns in real time.

The Findings

During the survey, our experts identified several asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), including:

Textured coatings on ceilings
Floor tiles and bitumen adhesive
Cement corrugated roofing

Each ACM was meticulously recorded, giving the client a clear and actionable overview of their asbestos risks.

The Results:

Beyond simply delivering survey reports, we provided the client with a comprehensive asbestos management plan, ensuring they had a roadmap for ongoing compliance. To further strengthen their asbestos awareness, we conducted UKATA-certified training, covering both Asbestos Awareness and Duty to Manage, equipping their team with the knowledge needed to remain compliant and proactive in managing risks.

Thanks to the seamless execution of the survey and our client-first approach, the company felt reassured and confident in Oracle Solutions’ expertise.

What our client had to say:

“Oracle Solutions demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a deep understanding of our industry’s challenges. Their team worked seamlessly with us to ensure the survey was completed with minimal disruption. Now, with a clear asbestos management strategy and expert training under our belt, we feel fully prepared to move forward with our refurbishment. We were so pleased with the service provided by Oracle Solutions, that we did a quick cake tasting with the surveyors as a little thank you for all their hard work.”
