What is the purpose of an asbestos register?
HSE describes the register as a live record of known and presumed asbestos-containing materials, informed by survey evidence and used as part of the management plan. The plan records how risks will be managed and how information is given to people who may disturb materials. Confirm that the duty to manage applies to the premises.
Last updated . Facts checked by the SiteSurvey team on 6 October 2026 against HSE asbestos registers and risk assessment and HSE writing and monitoring an asbestos management plan.

Every question in the asbestos register and management review template
An asbestos management record linking known or presumed materials to survey evidence, condition observations, controls, communication and review actions. 5 sections and 33 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.
