Asbestos Re-inspection
What is a Asbestos Re-Inspection?
The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 requires that if you have any previously identified or presumed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within your premises, you have a legal duty to manage the risk and monitor the condition of any remaining asbestos
Asbestos re-inspections should generally be completed annually. However, depending on the type, extent, condition, and location of the asbestos, those deemed high-risk materials or those more likely to be disturbed may need to be re-inspected more frequently. The reinspection is a material assessment of the ACM’s condition to confirm if it has deteriorated or been damaged since its original identification and now could, crucially, pose a greater risk to health.

Your questions answered
How often do I need an asbestos re-inspection?
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, re-inspections should be carried out at least annually—or more frequently if there’s a risk of damage or disturbance to the materials.
Do I need a re-inspection even if nothing has changed?
Yes. Regular inspections are required to confirm that ACMs remain in good condition and that risk levels haven’t increased. Even unchanged materials must be reviewed and documented.
