Managing asbestos reports and data

A new duty to manage asbestos in premises has been added to The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006.

People responsible for repair and maintenance of the premises (e.g. Facilities Manager, Managing Agents) must ensure that asbestos containing materials (ACM's) within those premises are properly managed.The first step of the management process is to undertake an asbestos risk assessment survey.

Asbestos Registers are traditionally paper based. Although these contain all the information required to manage the asbestos, they are generally considered to be inflexible, awkward to use and adapt for information transfer.

How ALS can help

ALS has created ARMS - a purpose-built asbestos management database system designed to make the handling, planning and updating of asbestos information efficient, easy and user friendly.

How ARMs can help you

The duty to manage asbestos in premises is an ongoing requirement under the CAR 2006.  The duty holder must ensure that asbestos containing materials (ACMs) within those premises are effectively managed.  The first step of the management process is to undertake an asbestos risk assessment survey throughout your premises thus obtaining a detailed register of the ACMs.  The Asbestos Register Management System (ARMS) has been designed to house this survey data in an easy to use, fast & efficient database enabling you to effectively manage the asbestos in your premises.

As a principal part of the ongoing duty to manage asbestos in buildings, it is a requirement that all identified ACMs within your premises must be re-inspected at least once every 12 months.  With the ARMS & the integrated Pocket PC module, the re-inspection process is very straightforward, accurate & time efficient.  The Pocket PC module enables a surveyor to revisit a site with all the ACM data conveniently available and to record any changes in the data at source, saving valuable reporting  time & ensuring the maximum accuracy.

ARMS will automatically log this new re-inspection data, creating an archive file showing historical inspections and changes to the ACMs state throughout the life of its management.

The benefits of using ARMS

Asbestos Register Management System (ARMS) is designed to collate information from an asbestos location survey assessment and make it readily available to interested parties.

Asbestos Register Management System (ARMS) is simple cost effective and ultimately updateable, it is extremely user friendly requiring little prior computer literacy to enable people to view or edit the database.

Asbestos Register Management System (ARMS) has been designed taking into account the HSE's MDHS 100 'Surveying, Sampling and Assessment of asbestos - containing materials'.

Asbestos Register Management System (ARMS) is a searchable ACM database assisting duty holders to comply with The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006.
