It seems that there are still some consultants are still using paper forms and manually writing Asbestos Reports.

The manual process involves:

  • Conducting a thorough on-site survey.
  • Documenting findings, including materials identified, their locations, and conditions.
  • Performing or coordinating laboratory analysis of samples.
  • Writing detailed recommendations for managing asbestos risks.

The time required to write an asbestos report manually can vary significantly depending on factors such as the complexity of the site, the volume of data collected, and the level of detail required. On average:

  1. Small Sites (e.g., residential properties):
    • Time: 4 to 8 hours
    • Includes site inspection, data collection, analysis, and report writing.
  2. Medium Sites (e.g., small commercial buildings):
    • Time: 8 to 16 hours
    • More extensive data and documentation are needed, including material testing and multiple room inspections.
  3. Large or Complex Sites (e.g., industrial facilities or multi-building campuses):
    • Time: 16 to 40+ hours
    • High volumes of data, detailed risk assessments, and potentially complex layouts increase the time requirement.
