| Appropriate HSE licensing |

|
Training qualifications and refresher training |
|

Work on or the removal of un-licensed materials does not have to be carried by an HSE licensed removal contractor.
 The work still has to be carried out in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 and in particular Regulation 10 “Prevention or reduction of exposure to asbestos”. All waste produced must be disposed of in line with the current Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005.
PASS (UK) Limited can advise on all aspect of work involving un-licensed materials. From health and safety to complying with asbestos legislation by:
|
Producing method statements for correct working procedures |
|
Providing air monitoring test results to confirm the method statement complies with Regulation 10 |
|
Supplying correct disposable protective clothing and disposable P3 dust masks (usually recommended as a precautionary measure) |
|
Arranging the collection and correct disposal of un-licensed asbestos containing materials |
|

Generally any material with an asbestos content greater than 0.1% by weight and having an overall density of less than 1 tonne per cubic metre is classed by the HSE as a licensed material. Asbestos materials used for insulation, asbestos coatings and AIB are classed as licensed materials and work on them is regulated by the control of asbestos regulations 2006. Work on or the removal of these materials requires 14 day notification to the HSE and should follow the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) for Work with Asbestos Insulation, Asbestos Coating, and Asbestos Insulating Board (Third Edition) 1999.
