All data added to the database is entered on a form, which is displayed on a single screen, meaning that all your data and information for a specific sample/location is always close to hand

The asbestos register is automatically generated from the information contained within the data sheets, though an option to produce your own customised registers is also provided

The collection and processing of survey data using AsbestaPLANAsbestaPLANPlusPlus on a Pocket PC has been shown to reduce the time taken to complete Asbestos Surveys and prepare Survey Reports by up to 50%,up to 50%, meaning that the system pays for itself in next to no time!

ANPlus What are the benefits? (Cont.)

The information on the Pocket PC can be simply downloaded into the AsbestaPLANAsbestaPLANPlusPlus Database from where it can then be updated and amended as changes in workplace occur. This therefore creates a 'Live' updateable asbestos database/register.

The Asbestos Data Sheets can be printed off and used within survey reports and management plans, or alternatively they can be issued to contractors carrying out maintenance or other works

The Asbestos Data Sheets can also be circulated in electronic format, such as Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) or Microsoft Document Imaging (.MDI)(users will need the Adobe Acrobat or MS Document Imaging software to exchange documents electronically)

The software can be used to help manage asbestos within a single property, or alternatively within multiple properties in multiple locations

For surveyors, the software not only helps to improve the efficiency of surveys, but it also provides a detailed template for the production of comprehensive asbestos survey reports

ANPlus Ensuring Compliance

Whilst AsbestaPLANAsbestaPLANPlusPlus will not eliminate the hazards or dangers associated with ACM’s in a building, it can help duty holders to manage the dangers and control the risk of exposure to employee’s, maintenance workers and others who may be affected

Furthermore the use of AsbestaPLANAsbestaPLANPlusPlus can help to demonstrate how duty holders are complying with their duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006

With the HSE now strictly enforcing the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, AsbestaPLANAsbestaPLANPlusPlus provides the perfect solution to assist both surveyors and duty holders with the management of asbestos
