Management Surveys
Required for occupied, non-domestic premises to identify and manage asbestos-containing materials during normal use.
A Management Survey is required for occupied, non-domestic premises under asbestos regulations to ensure asbestos-containing materials are identified and managed safely during normal use of the building.
The survey aims to locate asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during routine occupation, maintenance or installation works. The resulting report includes practical recommendations to assist duty holders in meeting their legal responsibilities.
Typically Required For
- Offices and Commercial Premises
- Industrial Buildings and Warehouses
- Schools, Healthcare and Public Buildings
- Communal Areas of Residential Properties
Management Survey Scope
A Management Survey is non-intrusive and generally minimises disturbance to the building. It involves:
- Visual inspection of accessible building elements
- Identification of suspect asbestos-containing materials
- Sampling of suspect materials where required
- Assessment of condition and disturbance risk
- Development of a management strategy
Legal Requirement
Duty holders (typically owners/managers of non-domestic premises) have a legal obligation under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to:
- Identify the location and extent of asbestos-containing materials
- Maintain an Asbestos Register
- Prepare an Asbestos Management Plan
- Keep staff and contractors informed of asbestos risks
A Management Survey provides the foundation for meeting these legal obligations.
