A live duty-to-manage system in York
The register, responsibilities, action plan, contractor controls, emergency procedures and reinspection programme must work together.
Historic and converted city property
York’s historic core, conservation areas, listed buildings and converted commercial property require careful scope boundaries and coordination with the wider project team.
Education, hospitality and public estates
Schools, university buildings, hotels, healthcare premises, visitor attractions and public buildings benefit from consistent registers, access planning and clear actions.
Housing, industry and surrounding towns
Suburban housing, rail and engineering property, business parks, warehouses, farms and nearby North Yorkshire towns create a varied mix of survey and remediation needs.
What to send for an accurate written scope
Good information reduces assumptions, prevents avoidable return visits and helps the team confirm the correct service first time.
- 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 used. It should not be a generic document stored away after the survey; it must guide maintenance, access, communication, incidents and planned work.

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.
