The Asbestos Register is a comprehensive document that informs the Dutyholder and any people intending to work on the fabric of the site where asbestos containing materials may be expected to be found.

The register records the location of all known and presumed ACMs identified in the survey reports. Where ACMs have subsequently been removed the record is marked ‘removed’, removed items are not deleted from the register as historic knowledge may be required in the future. Where details of the removal are known this will also be recorded on the register.

The register should be available to all relevant staff and trades.

It is also greatly helpful if it also refers to materials which may look like asbestos containing materials at first glance, but which (after laboratory analysis), are shown to have no asbestos detected - since knowledge of this can avoid someone stopping work because of concern about a suspected asbestos contamination which isn’t actually there.
