Survey and Register management

At the heart of AIMS Dutyholder are tools to manage survey information and asbestos registers. Survey information can be manually entered into the system or can be imported from the information provided by the surveyor regardless of the format. The asbestos register can be created and updated from survey information or manually entered via a wizard, with all ongoing management tasks such as further surveys, inspections and remedial works reflected in the register thus ensuring that all parties have accurate and up-to-date information at all times.

Any information associated with surveys such as air monitoring records, clearance certificates, non accessible areas and recommended actions are also stored in the system.

Risk assessments

AIMS Dutyholder includes a Risk Assessment wizard that allows users to easily and accurately perform risk assessments that adhere to the MDHS 100 guidelines. Material and Priority assessment information is recorded in addition to any decisions and comments made during the process.

Ongoing management

The graphical planner included with AIMS Dutyholder enables users to schedule and manage tasks such as surveys, removals and inspections. The Planner enables all members of an organisation to have full visibility of upcoming tasks and the resources allocated to them.

Inspections and remedial works

A vital part of a complete asbestos management plan is the ongoing management of any ACMs within buildings. AIMS provides tools to fully manage inspection regimes. This includes:

• Creating inspection regimes manually or using recommendations from a survey;
• Assigning internal or external resources to inspections;
• Importing the results of inspections back in to the system and identifying any resulting actions such as the need to change the frequency of inspection, effects on risk assessments.

Remedial works are also managed within the system. The results of any such work can be fed back into the system so as to ensure that the asbestos register is up-to-date at all times.

Work Permits

The integrated Work Permit system within AIMS Dutyholder enables organisations to put in place processes to avoid uncontrolled disturbances of ACMs. The Work Permit system uses the register information within AIMS to ensure that all relevant parties are made fully aware of any asbestos related issues before works commence. Signed work permits can be scanned and stored within AIMS ensuring a full audit trail is provided.

Searching, filtering and analysing information

Any management system is only as good as the information it presents to its users. AIMS Dutyholder has been designed to ensure users can search for, find, filter and analyse information as easily as possible.

Photos, floor plans, documents

Photos, floor plans and any other kind of document can be attached to any part of a building or to specific ACMs.

Sample results

Details of samples taken and the results are stored within AIMS Dutyholder allowing users to find and view sample information quickly.

Data exchange

AIMS Dutyholder is built on the foundation that data needs to be exchanged between different parties and systems. The system has the flexibility to import data, such as survey results, from any external source regardless of its format. Likewise, information can be exported from AIMS to any required format. All data exchange is carried out in a secure and controlled manner.

Auditing

All historical information is stored within AIMS Dutyholder therefore providing a full audit trail and traceability of past information and activities. Users can easily view register information at any point of time in the past.
