AXA Sun Life
The Company
Since 1977, Axa Sun Life Plc has been providing life cover, pensions and investment solutions predominantly for the over 50s age group. Their popular Guaranteed Over 50 Plan has over 655,000 customers.
As part of its investment management portfolio, Axa Sun Life has a number of interests in commercial property throughout the UK which include mid-size multi-unit shopping centres.
The Challenge
Prior to the acquisition of a shopping centre and as part of the routine care of another, Axa Sun Life's property consultant sought asbestos management services to achieve impartial, high quality asbestos surveys.A centrally controlled asbestos register was required in each centre to maintain a high standard of recording current information pertaining to the existence of Asbestos Containing Materials and the level of associated risk.
Our Solution
We were delighted to be selected to complete the surveys. We allocated a Surveyor to each shopping centre, following the agreement of the resulting reports forming the basis of an asbestos register in both locations. This enables a central document that can be accessed by relevant personnel and authorised contractors to record the current status of Asbestos Containing Materials and the level of risk they pose.
The Results
- Risk mitigation; through dependable and impartial identification of Asbestos Containing Materials
- Control of costs; via timely and dependable reports to aid effective decision-making
- Enhanced efficiencies; via recognised asbestos management procedures
