Best asbestos management software in the UK
What the duty to manage actually needs from software, the features that matter, and where Complys fits.
What to look for
A living register, not a PDF
The duty to manage needs an up-to-date record. Good software keeps a structured, editable register — not a survey PDF sat in a folder.
HSG264 risk scoring
Each material should carry its material and priority risk assessment, calculated consistently, so you know what needs action first.
A written management plan
It should produce and maintain the management plan the regulations require, with responsibilities, actions and timescales.
On-site capture
Let a competent surveyor record findings on site and generate the report — the software captures, the surveyor judges.
Re-inspection reminders
Track when each material and each building is due for review, ideally alongside your other compliance dates.
Portfolio view
For managing agents, coverage across every property in one place: what's done and what's outstanding.
Choosing asbestos software — FAQs
What must asbestos management software help me do?
Meet the duty to manage under CAR 2012 regulation 4: know whether asbestos is present, keep an up-to-date register, assess the risk (HSG264), maintain a written management plan, and review it. The software should hold all of that and prompt the reviews — it does not replace a competent surveyor's survey.
Does the software do the survey?
No. A survey requires a competent surveyor to inspect and, where needed, sample and have materials UKAS-analysed. Good software is where the surveyor captures the findings and where the duty holder keeps the register and plan and tracks reviews.
How does Complys compare?
Complys keeps the register and management plan, lets a surveyor capture a survey on site with automatic HSG264 scoring, digitises existing survey reports into a living register, and tracks re-inspection across a property portfolio — alongside fire risk assessments and the rest of your compliance.
