Is the Estates team responsible for managing insurance inspections or the Health and Safety Manager. My understanding is that the planning, ensuring the inspection is completed and remedial works done is the Estates team and as a H&S Manager my role is to ensure this has been done Am I correct?

That is up to your organisation to decide and I would expect this responsibility to be documented in somebody's job description.

I've never been asked to manage insurance inspections.  Where I have worked it has always fallen to a department such as Engineering or Facilities.  That is what makes most sense as it can be integrated into a planned preventative maintenance programme and managed as part of that. It's the most efficient and reliable way to do it. But there's no rule that it has to be done that way.  Lots of organisations don't do things in the most efficient and reliable way.

The other advantage of them being done by such a department is that I am then able to audit them with a degree of independence.
