Asbestos survey software and app for independent consultants

Carrying out asbestos surveys generates a significant volume of site records: material condition assessments, photographic evidence, risk scores, management recommendations and re-inspection dates. Lytom Assess is survey software with an iOS and web consultant app: a structured, template-driven workflow to capture everything on site, then issue a professional branded report directly to your client's portal.

Management and R&D survey templates Material condition scoring on site Branded report issued to client portal

Structured templates aligned with HSG264

Lytom Assess includes asbestos survey templates designed to capture the fields required under HSG264 guidance, the Health and Safety Executive's reference document for asbestos surveys. You don't need to build a custom template from scratch, though you can adjust the standard template if your reporting method or client requirements differ.

Survey types supported

• Management survey (Type 2)

  Used to locate and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that could be disturbed during normal occupation, maintenance or minor works. Records product type, location, extent, surface treatment, condition and risk score for each item found.

• Refurbishment and demolition survey (Type 3)

  Required before any refurbishment or demolition work. More intrusive than a management survey. Records all ACMs in the affected area or the whole building, with precise locations and sampling results where applicable.

• Re-inspection records

  Periodic re-inspection of known ACMs is a legal duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for dutyholder premises. Lytom Assess lets you log re-inspection visits against the original management survey record, with updated condition scores and notes over time.

• Asbestos management plan documentation

  The management plan that accompanies a survey (responsible persons, communication requirements, action priorities and review dates) can be captured and issued alongside the register as part of the same report package.

Capture on site, issue from anywhere

Asbestos surveys are inherently on-site work. Lytom Assess is available on iOS and as a web app, so you can complete survey records, add photographs of ACMs and note their exact location while you're still in the building. When you return to your desk, the report is ready to review, finalise and publish directly to the client portal. No re-typing data from site notes.

Delivering the asbestos register to your client

When you issue an asbestos survey in Lytom Assess, it appears immediately in the client portal. Your client can view the register, download the PDF report and track any management actions, without you emailing the file every time they ask for the latest version. For sites with multiple buildings or phases, each survey can be managed as a separate record within the same client portal area.
