Why Choose a Licensed Contractor?
Legal Compliance
HSE licenses guarantee that a contractor adheres to strict legal requirements and safety standards.
Expertise and Training
Licensed contractors have undergone rigorous training and possess the necessary expertise to handle high-risk asbestos removal safely.
Specialised Equipment
They utilise specialised equipment and protective gear to minimise the risk of fibre release.
Notification to Authorities
Licensed contractors are required to notify the appropriate enforcing authority before commencing work, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Air Monitoring and Control
They implement comprehensive independent Air Monitoring and control measures to protect workers and the public.
Waste Disposal
They ensure the safe and compliant disposal of asbestos waste at licensed facilities.
Understanding Licensable Work
Removal of Sprayed Asbestos Coatings
These materials can release a high concentration of asbestos fibers.
Removal of Asbestos Insulation
This includes materials such as pipe lagging, which can be highly friable (easily crumbled).
Removal of Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
AIB can release significant amounts of fibres when disturbed.
Asbestos Cement when it is badly damaged in large quantities
Even though cement is thought of as low risk, when damaged, or in large quantities it becomes a high risk.
When Control Limits are likely to be exceeded
This means that air monitoring suggests that fibres within the air could exceed safe levels.
