Add items. Using the Add Item icon, just below the building photo, you can add new asbestos items for the building.
Copy Buildings. Choose the Copy Buildings icon to duplicate all the inspection details to a new building. This copy feature saves you a lot of time when surveying multiple buildings at the same location. Please note that this does not copy all the asbestos items as well, you'll need to copy these separately.
Create Report. You can generate a report by selecting the Create Report icon. Once your report is ready to view, the Open Report icon will be displayed to the right allowing you to open the building inspection report as a PDF.
Open Report. As mentioned above, this icon will be displayed when your report is available to view. When the report loads, you can save it to your preferred location, or email it to your client.
Address Details. If you scroll further down the screen, you can see the building's address. Select the icon to the right of the address to open a location map of the building. The good thing about this feature is that you can use the map to get directions to the building.
Edit Building Details. If you select the pencil icon, you can edit the building inspection details in a scrollable form.
The Items List screen shows all the asbestos items assessed during your inspection, along with a thumbnail of the item photo.

Status. On the right, you can see a colour-coded status of the asbestos item such as Presumed or No Asbestos detected.
Edit. Use the pencil icon, just below the colour coded status, to edit the asbestos item's full details.
Sections. Apart from Suspect Items, you can also view Non-Asbestos Areas, Excluded Areas, and an optional Area Summary if you scroll down the page.
Add. Using the large plus icon at the bottom right, you can add new asbestos items.
Overlaid on the item photo is the description of the asbestos item, recommended action, and sample number. The recommended action is automatically calculated using the information you provided when you inspected the item.
Action. The recommended course of action, and the sample number, if taken, is shown below the item description.
Adding Items. On the right, you can see a colour-coded status of the asbestos item. To inspect another asbestos item within the building, select the Another Item icon shown in the row of action icons.
Copying Items. You can duplicate individual asbestos items and apply them to different buildings by selecting Copy This Item icon.
Asbestos Status Actions. You can quickly set the asbestos item's status to not asbestos, asbestos presumed, or asbestos identified, using the additional icons to the right.
The Pending Samples screen lists the samples that you have recorded but not yet applied laboratory results.
Description. Below the description of the item, you can also see its location at the building.
Sections. The building addresses are displayed in alphabetical order. You can see a list of the pending samples in sample number order under these headings.
Enter Lab Results. Using the 3 icons displayed to the right, you can quickly apply your lab results. Mark an item as asbestos identified, or no asbestos detected by selecting the thumbs up or thumbs down icon. By selecting the middle pencil icon, you will be able to edit the full item record and make other changes or corrections.
Sample Numbers. Sample numbers are displayed in ascending order just above the 3 icons mentioned above.
Asbestos samples, with lab results already applied, are displayed on this screen. They are labelled as identified, or no asbestos detected.

Use the pencil icon to show the asbestos Item Details Form to make any changes you want. Use the question mark to move the item back to the pending samples list.
Sample Numbers. Sample numbers are displayed to the right of the page, just above the question mark icon.
Item Details. If you select an item in the list, you will see a scrollable page showing the assessment results, along with recommended actions.
You can plan and view your asbestos inspections with our handy built-in calendar, colour-coded by the surveyor name. This gives you a good overview of your workload, especially if you have a team of surveyors.
Viewing Options. You can view your calendar by month, week, or day, according to your preferences. Use the arrows on either side of the date to navigate through the calendar. Your daily calendar additionally displays the time of Inspection for that day.
Select Inspection. When you select a building address, you will navigate directly to the building inspection details.
New Inspections. You can create a new building inspection by selecting the large plus icon on the bottom right of the screen.
On the Maps dashboard screen, you can preview the location details of all your buildings being inspected.
Location. The location of your building is visible on the map as a red pin.
Address. Alongside your building thumbnail, you can select the address to directly open the building details page.
Search. You can also filter the list of buildings shown on the map by doing a free format search using the spyglass icon.
The Job Progress screen makes organising and managing your surveys simple. There are two types of progress screens.
By Status. The right side part of the screen shows an overview of the statuses of your building inspections. Scheduled is shown as red, started in purple, pending as orange, and any completed surveys will be shown in green. There's a count alongside the statuses. This is useful to check any survey backlogs you may have. You can view a list of all the buildings nested under each status heading by selecting the heading to expand it.
By Inspector. To the left of the screen, you can see the buildings assigned to surveyors. These are shown in alphabetical order, with the most recent surveys being displayed first. Colour coding of the inspection date to match the inspection status makes it easy to understand the current progress.
Time. The inspection time is shown on the right of the building address; the most recent inspections are shown first.
Edit. Use the pencil icon, below the survey time, to edit the full details of an item.
The PocketSurvey Asbestos app is very customisable. You can control how the app works by turning on and off features to suit your own workflow. For example, if you don't do priority assessments, you can turn these off. If you don't want to use Jobs or Sites, you can turn these off as well.
Report Fields. One of the main areas you will need to customise first is what company information you want to appear in your reports. You can enter your preferred report title, company contact details, and company address. If you upload your company logo, it will be added to every report automatically.
This modern Asbestos app is unique in that you can configure the lists of suspect items and their descriptions. These items and descriptions will then appear in the drop-down lists when recording your inspections.
Template. On the App Setup menu, you can configure your own variant of this asbestos inspection app. There are two main sections you can change: Suspect Items and Area Summary Items.
Edit. You can also add new Suspect Items and descriptions by selecting the large plus icon to the bottom right of the screen.
Survey Sections. You can configure the Suspect Items & Area Summary Items in a way that best suits your own type of asbestos surveys.
