Clear registers, access procedures and maintenance controls for offices, shops and managed premises.

Healthcare and education

Consistent compliance records across occupied buildings with sensitive access and operational requirements.

Prepare the enquiry

What to send for an accurate written scope

  • Current asbestos survey and register
  • Building or portfolio schedule
  • Completed and outstanding actions
  • Planned maintenance or refurbishment
  • Named dutyholder and site contacts
  • Required review, reinspection or reporting date

A management plan must be site-specific and actively used. It should not be a generic document stored away after the survey. It must guide maintenance, access, communication, incidents and planned work.

Frequently asked questions

Asbestos-management FAQs

What should an asbestos management plan include?

It should identify responsibilities, refer to the current register and risk assessments, prioritise actions, explain contractor and incident procedures and state monitoring and review arrangements.

Who is the dutyholder?

Responsibility can rest with the owner, landlord, employer or organisation with maintenance or repair obligations, depending on contracts and control of the premises.

Is a Management Survey the same as a management plan?

No. The survey supplies inspection evidence. The plan explains how the dutyholder will manage the recorded risks, actions, communication and review.

Can ASM update an existing management plan?

Yes. ASM can review the survey, register, completed actions, building changes and reinspection findings before updating the plan within the agreed scope.
