Survey to system

The asbestos survey is evidence — it is not the complete management plan

Asbestos register

Maintain clear ACM locations, condition information, plans, removals, restrictions and links to the latest evidence.

Management plan

Assign responsibilities, priorities, remedial actions, communication routes and review arrangements.

Contractor controls

Make asbestos information part of work orders, permits, inductions and maintenance authorisation before building fabric is disturbed.

Active management cycle

Keep the plan connected to what actually happens in the building

1

Confirm evidence

Check the survey, register, limitations, removals and any gaps in building coverage.

2

Prioritise actions

Decide what can remain managed and what requires repair, protection, investigation or removal.

3

Communicate

Integrate asbestos information into contractor controls, permits, maintenance and emergency arrangements.

4

Review

Reinspect as appropriate and update the system when the building, condition or responsibilities change.

FAQs

Asbestos Management Inverness FAQs

Is a survey the same as a management plan?

No. The survey supplies building evidence. The management plan explains how the dutyholder will control and review the risk.

Who has the duty to manage?

Regulation 4 generally applies to those with responsibility for maintenance and repair of relevant non-domestic premises and applicable common parts, subject to the legal arrangements.

How should contractors access asbestos information?

Relevant information should be available and checked before maintenance or construction is authorised.

Does the management plan need reviewing?

Yes. It should be updated when condition, occupancy, planned works, removals, survey information or responsibilities change.
