What is a Management Survey?
An asbestos management survey is the standard survey required for the normal occupation and use of a building. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal day-to-day occupancy.
Previously known as Type 1 or Type 2 surveys, this is a strict legal requirement for every non-domestic building built before the year 2000, as well as communal areas in residential blocks (such as stairwells in flats).
Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
If you own or are responsible for a commercial building and fail to manage asbestos correctly, you could expose individuals to fatal diseases, resulting in severe prosecution and potential imprisonment.

Any building constructed or refurbished prior to the year 2000 can potentially contain hazardous asbestos materials.
Mandatory Register
