Rather than write stuff we decided to make some videos giving some thoughts and ideas on various asbestos management topics.
Asbestos reinspection programmes
Finding the asbestos is only the start. If it is going to stay where it is then you need to make sure it stays in a safe condition and reinspection is a part of that. The problem is how do you run a re-inspection programme without it soaking up your budget. Here are some ideas.
Planning

Recording the inspections
There is no point carrying out any inspections unless you record them properly. Here are some thoughts on how you might do that.
Asbestos management plans
