What is licenced asbestos removal?

High risk work with asbestos must only be done by a licensed contractor. In order for asbestos removal to be licensable it must be: where the operatives exposure to asbestos is not sporadic and of low intensity, or where the risk assessment cannot clearly demonstrate that the control limit will not be exceeded 0.1 asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air (0.1 f/cm3) (averaged over a four hour period); or on asbestos coating; or on asbestos insulation or asbestos insulating board where the risk assessment demonstrates that the work is not short duration work. When work is carried out with these materials it should not take no more than two hours in any seven day period, and no one person works for more than one hour in that two hour period.

Examples of licenced asbestos removal;

Removing sprayed coatings (limpet asbestos) or other work which may disturb pipe lagging, any work involving loose fill insulation, work on asbestos millboard, cleaning up significant quantities of loose/fine debris containing ACM dust (where the work is not sporadic and of low intensity, the control limit will be exceeded or it is not short duration work)work on AIB, where the risk assessment indicates that it will not be of short duration.
