An asbestos survey is a vital tool for managing asbestos in buildings. It involves a thorough inspection of the building to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and evaluate the risk of exposure to asbestos fibres. The survey will identify the location, extent and condition of any ACMs and provide recommendations for their safe management or removal.

There are two types of asbestos surveys: Management surveys and Refurbishment/Demolition surveys. A Management survey is designed to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition. A Refurbishment/Demolition survey is required before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all asbestos-containing materials in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned.
