What Is an Asbestos Management Survey?
An asbestos management survey is designed to identify asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during the normal use, occupancy and routine maintenance of a building.
The survey typically records:
- Location of suspected asbestos
- Type of material
- Extent of the material
- Condition
- Accessibility
- Sample results where appropriate
- Recommended management actions
This information can form the basis of the property’s asbestos register and management plan.
Who Needs an Asbestos Management Survey?
Management surveys are particularly relevant to those responsible for the maintenance and repair of non-domestic premises.
Properties can include:
Commercial Buildings
Offices, shops, warehouses and other workplaces.
Public & Community Buildings
Schools, healthcare facilities, community centres and public-sector premises.
Common Areas of Residential Buildings
Communal areas and other spaces falling within asbestos management responsibilities may require assessment.
What Happens During an Asbestos Management Survey?

Where asbestos is identified, this does not necessarily mean it needs to be removed.
Depending upon its condition and likelihood of disturbance, asbestos can sometimes remain safely in place under an appropriate management plan.Keep Your Asbestos Information Up to Date
Buildings change over time, and asbestos-containing materials can deteriorate or become more likely to be disturbed.
Regular monitoring and effective asbestos management help organisations maintain an accurate understanding of asbestos risks within their properties.
