Specialist Sampling & Risk Assessment Services
Effective risk management starts with accurate identification.
At Salience Training & Consultancy Ltd, we provide specialist sampling and assessment services for hazardous materials that may be present within buildings or land. Identifying these risks early allows appropriate control measures to be implemented, helping to protect individuals, contractors, and the wider environment.
Lead Paint Sampling & Surveys
Our team is experienced in the identification and sampling of lead-based paint and other hazardous compounds commonly found in building materials.
Exposure to lead can result in serious health effects, including:
-
Headaches and stomach pain
-
Anaemia
-
Kidney damage
-
Neurological impairment
-
Fertility issues
Under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 (CLAW), employers have a legal duty to prevent or adequately control exposure to lead where a risk exists.
When is a lead survey required?
Lead paint surveys are particularly important for:
-
Buildings constructed before 1992
-
Renovation, refurbishment, or demolition works
-
Commercial projects where existing paintwork may be disturbed
What we provide:
-
Identification and sampling of lead-based materials
-
Laboratory analysis to confirm presence and risk
-
Clear reporting on condition and potential exposure
-
Practical recommendations for safe management or removal
Our surveys help ensure that harmful lead dust or particles are not released, supporting safe working environments and legal compliance.
