An asbestos survey designed to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials that could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy and maintenance of a building. This survey aims to ensure that nobody is harmed by the continuing presence of asbestos in the building. It involves sampling and analysis of suspected materials and creates an asbestos register and management plan.
