Compliance (HSE) — Built for UK Asbestos Duty holders

A structured asbestos register and evidence-first workflow designed to support UK compliance. Track inspections, review dates, risk assessments and export audit-ready reports aligned with HSE guidance.

The Compliance page explains how Asbestos Register supports a duty holder friendly workflow under UK asbestos regulations. Maintain a structured asbestos register, capture risk and evidence, and produce audit-ready PDF reports for inspections and compliance reviews.

What “Compliance” Means in Practice

Compliance is not just storing asbestos data — it’s being able to demonstrate control, evidence and continuity over time. This page focuses on the operational parts you need for inspections and audits.

Structured Register

Standardised hierarchy: Buildings → Areas → Items, with consistent location naming, material fields and item-level history.

Reviews & Inspections

Track inspection cycles and review dates across portfolios so overdue items and expiring reviews don’t get missed.

Evidence & Audit Trail

Attach surveys, photos and documents to the right records and keep a complete audit trail for accountability and inspections.

A Compliance-Ready Workflow

A simple structure that matches how dutyholders and compliance teams actually work — from register setup to audit exports.

1) Build a clear location model

Create Buildings and Areas so every ACM record is tied to a precise location — reducing ambiguity during inspections.

2) Record items consistently

Log material type, condition and risk fields in a consistent format across all buildings and teams.

3) Attach surveys & evidence

Add survey PDFs, lab results, photos, certificates and supporting documents directly to the relevant record.

4) Track review dates & actions

Monitor review dates and inspections, update statuses, and keep a record of control measures and actions over time.

5) Export audit-ready reports

Generate structured PDF exports for audits, insurers or internal reviews — with a clear register layout and linked evidence.

HSE Compliance Checklist for Asbestos Registers

Use this checklist to assess whether your asbestos register is inspection-ready and aligned with UK asbestos management practices.

Clear building structure

Buildings, areas and locations are clearly defined so every asbestos item can be physically identified during an inspection.

Consistent asbestos item records

Each asbestos-containing material (ACM) includes material type, condition, accessibility and risk information.

Risk assessment & prioritisation

Risk scores and status fields allow dutyholders to prioritise higher-risk items and control measures.

Review dates & re-inspections

Review dates are recorded and monitored to ensure inspections are carried out at appropriate intervals.

Surveys & supporting evidence

Survey reports, lab results, photos and certificates are attached directly to relevant buildings, areas or items.

Full audit trail

Changes to the asbestos register are traceable, showing what was updated, when, and supporting accountability.

Role-based access control

Access is controlled for surveyors, managers and read-only users to protect data integrity.

Audit-ready exports

The asbestos register can be exported as a structured PDF suitable for HSE inspections, councils and insurers.

Secure UK data hosting

Data is hosted in the UK with secure storage, supporting GDPR-aligned handling of asbestos records.

Spreadsheets Don’t Prove Compliance

Spreadsheets can hold data, but they rarely provide the traceability and evidence packaging needed during audits.

Typical Spreadsheet Issues

  • No reliable audit trail
  • Evidence scattered in folders and email threads
  • Inconsistent naming across buildings/teams
  • Review dates missed without structured cycles
  • Manual export formatting during audits

Compliance Workflow Benefits

  • Audit trail across records and evidence
  • Evidence attached to the right building/area/item
  • Standardised register structure at scale
  • Review dates and inspections tracked consistently
  • Audit-ready PDF exports in seconds

Compliance FAQ (HSE)

Practical answers about HSE alignment, audits, evidence and dutyholder workflows.

The platform is designed to support compliance with UK asbestos management practices by structuring your register, capturing evidence, tracking reviews and producing inspection-ready exports. Software cannot replace professional judgement, but it provides a consistent workflow that helps dutyholders maintain robust records.

Inspection-ready means the register has a clear location structure, consistent item fields, up-to-date reviews, and evidence attached to the right records. You should be able to export a report that clearly shows what is present, where it is, its current status, and supporting documentation.

Yes. Evidence can be stored at building, area or item level, so audits don’t depend on shared drives or email threads. This supports traceability and makes it easy to include evidence in reports.

You can store review dates and track re-inspection cycles per building or item. This helps dutyholders avoid overdue reviews and maintain an up-to-date asbestos management plan.

Yes. The audit trail records changes to register data and helps demonstrate accountability across teams and sites. This is especially useful when multiple users manage the same portfolio.

Yes. The system supports multi-building portfolios with role-based access and audit-ready reporting, which is a strong fit for councils, housing associations and large estates.
