Formula used
This calculator provides an internal prioritization score for register updates.

You can change the thresholds and factors to match your internal method.
How to use this calculator
Follow these steps to update your register consistently.

  1. Enter building, area, and an asset ID used in your records.
  2. Select material and asbestos type based on survey evidence.
  3. Set condition, disturbance, and exposure ratings from observations.
  4. Provide last inspection date and an inspection interval in months.
  5. Choose the intended action, and add cost per square meter.
  6. Submit to view the summary above the form immediately.
  7. Keep “Save” checked to build an exportable entry list.
  8. Use Download CSV or Download PDF for audits and handovers.
Always follow licensed procedures and local requirements when asbestos is present.

Risk scoring that stays consistent

The calculator converts field observations into a repeatable priority signal. Condition, disturbance, and exposure are rated from 1 to 5, then multiplied to form a base score (1–125). A fiber factor reflects sample type, while a quantity factor scales risk using affected area. The combined score supports clear comparisons across locations, especially when multiple assets compete for inspection time and budget. Threshold bands translate the score into Low, Medium, High, or Critical priorities.

Inspection due dates you can defend

Register updates often fail on timing, not intent. By adding an inspection interval in months to the last inspection date, the tool produces a next due date and a days-to-due figure. Overdue items are flagged automatically in the status message. This helps planners prioritize reinspection before refurbishment, enabling safer task sequencing and better contractor coordination. It also highlights missing inspection dates for follow-up.

Action selection and cost visibility

Teams need a quick, realistic estimate for controls. The cost module multiplies affected area by a unit rate and an action factor. Monitor carries a low factor, encapsulation raises costs modestly, and removal increases costs most. This approach is transparent enough for early planning, while still letting you refine rates using market quotes or framework pricing. Use separate rates for access, disposal, and clearance.

Register quality and accountability

Good registers link every entry to ownership. Building, area, asset ID, and responsible person fields create traceability for audits and handovers. Optional notes and evidence links support survey narratives without inflating the dataset. Saving entries into the session list builds a working register extract that can be reviewed in meetings before exporting. Improves closure.

Exports that support audits and handovers

Operational teams often need registers in multiple formats. The CSV export suits spreadsheets, dashboards, and document control systems. The PDF export produces a simple report for site packs and contractor briefings. Together, they reduce rework during compliance checks and improve consistency when projects move from design to construction and maintenance.

FAQs
Quick answers to common implementation questions.

1) What does the risk score represent?

It is an internal prioritization score based on ratings, asbestos type, and quantity. Use it to compare assets consistently. It does not replace licensed assessment, monitoring plans, or regulatory requirements.

2) How should I choose the ratings?

Use clear site rules: condition reflects damage or friability, disturbance reflects likelihood of impact, and exposure reflects occupancy and duration. Keep the same criteria across teams so scores remain comparable.

3) What if the last inspection date is missing?

Leave the date blank. The status will highlight the missing record so you can schedule an inspection and complete the register entry. Once entered, the next due date is calculated automatically.

4) Can I record areas where asbestos is not detected?

Yes. Select “None / not detected” for asbestos type. The tool will show “No asbestos detected” as the priority, helping you document sampling outcomes and avoid mixing non-ACM items with active controls.

5) How is the cost estimate calculated?

Estimated cost = affected area × unit cost × action factor. The factors provide fast comparison between monitor, encapsulation, and removal. Replace the unit cost with your local rates for better planning accuracy.

6) Where are saved entries stored and exported from?

Entries are stored in the server session for your current browser session. The CSV and PDF exports use that saved list. Use “Clear Saved Entries” when you want to start a new register extract.
