Asbestos Survey
A systematic inspection of a building or structure to locate, identify, and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials. Surveys are required before renovation or demolition work and for managing asbestos in occupied buildings. There are three main types: Management Surveys (for occupied buildings), Refurbishment Surveys (before renovation), and Demolition Surveys (before demolition). Surveys must be conducted by qualified and accredited professionals.
Asbestos Register
A documented record of all known and presumed asbestos-containing materials in a building, including location, type, condition, and assessment results. The register must be maintained and updated as materials are removed or conditions change. It serves as a key tool for managing asbestos risks and must be made available to anyone who might disturb the materials.
