What Is an Asbestos Management Report
An Asbestos Management Report documents the presence, location, condition, and risk of asbestos-containing materials, commonly referred to as ACMs, within a non-domestic building.
The report is based on a management survey, which is designed to identify ACMs that could be disturbed during normal building use, routine maintenance, or minor works such as installing lighting or running cables.
This report forms the foundation of an Asbestos Management Plan, which is required under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for those with responsibility for commercial premises.
Who Needs an Asbestos Management Report
Asbestos management reports are required for a wide range of non-domestic buildings, including:
- Offices and corporate buildings
- Retail units and shopping centres
- Warehouses and industrial sites
- Hotels and leisure venues
- Healthcare and education buildings
- Public sector premises
- Mixed-use commercial properties
If asbestos is present, or presumed to be present, the duty holder must ensure it is managed safely and reviewed regularly.
What Our Asbestos Management Reports Include
Survey Findings and Identification of ACMs
Our management surveys identify asbestos-containing materials through visual inspection and, where appropriate, sampling. Common locations include:
- Ceiling tiles and panels
- Wall linings and partitions
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Insulation materials
- Service ducts and plant rooms
Each identified material is recorded accurately within the report.
Condition Assessment of Materials
We assess the condition of each ACM to determine whether it is:
- In good condition and safe to manage
- Showing signs of damage or deterioration
- At risk of disturbance during normal use
This assessment helps determine whether immediate action is required.
Risk Assessment & Fibre Release Potential
The report evaluates the likelihood of asbestos fibres being released during everyday activities or routine maintenance, allowing risks to be prioritised appropriately.
Asbestos Register
Every asbestos management report includes a detailed asbestos register, which records:
- Location of ACMs
- Type of material
- Condition and risk level
- Accessibility
- Recommended management approach
This register must be kept up to date and accessible to anyone working in the building.
Action Plan & Management Recommendations
We provide a clear action plan outlining recommended steps, which may include:
- Ongoing monitoring
- Labelling and encapsulation
- Repair or sealing
- Removal by licensed contractors
Timescales and responsibilities are clearly explained to support compliance.
Legal Responsibilities & Duty to Manage
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the duty to manage asbestos applies to anyone responsible for maintaining or repairing non-domestic premises. This includes building owners, landlords, managing agents, and facilities managers.
The asbestos management report provides the essential information required to:
- Protect occupants and visitors
- Inform contractors before work begins
- Reduce the risk of accidental fibre disturbance
- Demonstrate compliance during inspections
Failure to manage asbestos correctly can result in enforcement action and serious health risks.
When a Different Asbestos Survey Is Required
An asbestos management report is suitable for normal occupation and minor maintenance only.
Refurbishment or Demolition Surveys
If major refurbishment or demolition work is planned, a refurbishment or demolition survey is required. This type of survey is more intrusive and aims to identify all asbestos-containing materials, including those hidden within the building fabric.
EPC-Hub can advise which survey is appropriate based on your project plans.
Asbestos Management and Wider Building Compliance
Asbestos management is one part of a wider commercial compliance strategy. Many building owners combine asbestos reporting with other statutory assessments to streamline compliance and reduce disruption.
