What is an asbestos inventory?
An asbestos inventory is a technical report that details all asbestos present in a building. The inventory is a requirement for all locations where your employees work: both permanent workplaces and temporary worksites.
Our experts draw up the inventory after a visual inspection. For each asbestos-containing material, we will list the measures needed to protect your employees. At the end of the process, you will receive the legally required document.
