  My main duty is to use the drawing programme AutoCAD to create computerised versions of surveyor’s site plans where asbestos had been identified within a building. As well as this, I quality control reports that explain to the client where the asbestos is within their building, how dangerous it is and the procedures that the surveyor believes should be undertaken.
