What is Asbestos Management?
Asbestos remains present in many buildings constructed before 2000, requiring careful management to prevent exposure. The Control of Asbestos Regulations require duteholders to identify asbestos locations and manage the risk. This module manages asbestos registers, surveys, and management plans.
Location mapping displays asbestos materials on building plans, providing visual reference for maintenance workers and contractors. Condition assessment scores material condition using a systematic methodology, prioritising remediation of deteriorating materials.
Management plans document control measures including encapsulation, labelling, and monitoring schedules. Contractor communication features provide asbestos information before work commences, preventing accidental disturbance.
