Reinspection evidence for a live management plan
The completed reinspection should identify what has changed and what action is now required.
Material condition
Damage, deterioration, exposed edges, debris, surface treatment and water-related change.
Accessibility
Changes to occupancy, maintenance access, barriers or the likelihood of disturbance.
Register accuracy
Items removed, areas altered, labels changed and records requiring correction.
Management actions
Repair, encapsulation, restricted access, sampling, removal or shorter review intervals.
More than a dated copy of the old register
A useful reinspection checks whether recorded materials remain present, whether their condition or accessibility has changed and whether previous actions have been completed.

Reinspection Survey FAQs
How often should asbestos be reinspected?
The interval should reflect material condition, accessibility, likelihood of disturbance, building use and the management plan. Additional checks may be required after damage or change.
Do I need the old asbestos register?
It is strongly recommended because the reinspection is based on known or presumed ACMs already recorded. Missing or unreliable records may require a new Management Survey.
Can ASM re-inspect a portfolio of buildings?
Yes. ASM can programme condition reviews and consistent reporting across commercial, education, healthcare, housing and industrial estates.
Does a reinspection replace a Refurbishment Survey?
No. A reinspection reviews recorded ACMs for management purposes and is not sufficiently intrusive for proposed refurbishment or demolition.
