INTRODUCTION
The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 provides for the licensing of asbestos removal work and
asbestos assessor work. It also requires notification to SafeWork NSW of asbestos work when results
of air monitoring show the concentration of respirable asbestos fibres is more than 0.02 fibres/ml
and before the demolition of a structure or plant in an emergency situation where asbestos is fixed or
installed in the structure or plant.
RELEVANT LEGISLATION, STANDARDS AND
CODE OF PRACTICE
• Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017
• Work Health and Safety Act 2011
• Code of Practice: How to safely remove asbestos
• Code of Practice: How to manage and control asbestos in the workplace
WHY YOU NEED A LICENCE
An asbestos removal licence is a legal requirement for certain types and quantities of asbestos.
Theobjective is to ensure that persons undertaking this work are appropriately qualified, and have
theappropriate skills and training to carry out this kind of work.
An asbestos removal licence is required to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable the health and
safety of workers and other persons is not put at risk from work carried out as part of the asbestos
removal process.
An asbestos assessor licence aims to improve the consistency and accuracy of advice from consultants
who provide air monitoring and clearance certificates in relation to friable asbestos removal work.
Part 4 of the WHS Act 2011 imposes penalties on people who carry out work at a workplace
without authorisation where the regulations require that work be authorised. Part 8.10 of the WHS
Regulation 2017 requires authorisation (in this case licensing) for certain asbestos removalists and
asbestos assessors.
A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) who commissions the removal of asbestos at
the workplace must ensure asbestos removal work is carried out only by a licensed asbestos removalist
who is appropriately licensed to carry out the work, unless specified in the WHS Regulations that a
licence is not required.
WHY YOU NEED TO NOTIFY
Notifications of asbestos removal work and emergency demolition provides risk based information to
SafeWork NSW so it can apply resources and target compliance and enforcement actions to areas of
greatest risk to health and safety.
5Applicant Guide for Asbestos licences and notifications
LICENCE TYPES
There are two types of asbestos removal licences: Class A and Class B. The type of licence required

removed at a workplace.
An asbestos assessor licence is required to carry out air monitoring and clearance inspections for class
A asbestos removal work.
Type of licence What asbestos can be removed?
Class A Can remove any amount or quantity of asbestos or ACM, including:
• any amount of friable asbestos or ACM
• any amount of asbestos contaminated dust or debris (ACD)
• any amount of non-friable asbestos or ACM
Class B Can remove:
• any amount of non-friable asbestos or ACM
• ACD associated with the removal of non-friable asbestos or ACM

• air monitoring for Class A asbestos removal work
• clearance inspections for Class A asbestos removal work
• issuing clearance certificates in relation to Class A asbestos removal work
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A LICENCE IS NOT REQUIRED
