What Inspectors Expect to See

A practical inspection-readiness checklist: structured register, review history, evidence packs, contractor information, and an audit trail that proves active asbestos management.

Inspections go faster when information is structured and evidence is attached to the right records. This checklist focuses on what makes your asbestos management defensible: clarity, consistency, review cadence, and traceability.

Inspection readiness checklist

These are the areas that typically expose gaps during audits.

Structured register

  • Buildings → Areas → Items
  • Consistent location naming
  • Material and condition captured

Review cycles

  • Review dates recorded
  • Overdue items visible
  • Outcomes and actions logged

Evidence packs

  • Surveys & lab results attached
  • Photos and certificates stored
  • Exportable PDF packs

Audit trail and reporting

The audit trail is where systems outperform spreadsheets. It shows who changed what, when, and why — and it links that change to evidence. Combined with structured PDF exports, this makes audits predictable.

Change history

Record updates, reviews, evidence uploads.

Export-ready

PDF outputs for HSE, councils, insurers.

FAQ

Fast answers for audit preparation.

Clear structure (Buildings → Areas → Items), consistent locations, review history, linked evidence, and an audit trail of changes.

Evidence and review outcomes. Many organisations have a survey, but can’t show review cadence, changes, and supporting documents quickly.

Keep evidence attached to records, track review dates, and export structured PDFs on demand. Avoid manual compilation during an inspection.
