From asbestos survey to a living register and management plan
An asbestos survey identifies where ACMs are, in what condition, and whether action is needed. PropertyActions turns those survey outputs into a written register, prioritised management actions and a re-inspection schedule — the duty-to-manage record in one place.
What the law asks of the dutyholder
PropertyActions tracks the actions that flow from these duties — it doesn't assume them.
Duty to manage asbestos (Regulation 4)
Dutyholders must take reasonable steps to locate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), presume materials contain asbestos unless there is clear evidence otherwise, assess their condition and risk, produce a written management plan, and share it with anyone who may disturb the materials.
Source: Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012Keep materials in good repair, or remove them
The dutyholder must keep identified materials in good repair, and repair, protect or remove materials that cannot be adequately maintained. Every measure taken to implement the plan must be recorded.

Location and condition information must be given to anyone liable to disturb the material — contractors, maintenance staff and emergency services. PropertyActions issues focused records to the people doing the work.

Written register of ACM location and condition
A written, up-to-date record of the location and condition of all actual or presumed ACMs, with a risk determination and the control measures applied.
Source: HSE — Duty to manage asbestosManagement plan and actions taken
The plan must include monitoring of ACM condition, maintenance or safe-removal arrangements, and how location/condition is communicated. All measures taken to implement it must be recorded.
Re-inspect every 6–12 months; review plan at least annually
ACMs must be re-inspected periodically, typically every 6 to 12 months calibrated to condition and risk. The management plan must be reviewed at least every 12 months — and sooner if condition deteriorates, building works are planned, or tenancy changes.
