This book replaces most earlier HSE guidance on liscensed asbestos removal work. It is aimed at businesses holding a alicence to work with asbestos, either repairing or removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), supervising such work, holding an ancillary license or providing training on asbestos. Employers who carry out work with asbestos insulation, aasbestos insulating board using their own employees on their premises, who are exempted from the requirement to hold a licence, also need this guidance. The guidance is split into eight chapters, covering different aspects of licensed work with ACM's. It provides an overview of asbestos and its health effects, the law and how to work safely with asbestos.
