Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal
Looking to carry out demolition work but there is asbestos present?
You need to be aware of what to do in order to stay safe as asbestos poses significant risk to health.
Many buildings in the UK, and some plant and equipment, still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Before you start any work on a building that might contain asbestos (eg built or refurbished before the year 2000), you need to identify whether asbestos is present and determine its type and condition and then carry out a risk assessment
Most asbestos removal work will require a contractor holding a licence from HSE. If it doesn't need a licence, you can do maintenance work on or around ACMs with the appropriate controls in place, by a certified contractor.
This is where we can help! As a UKATA non-licensed operative, we can clean up small quantities of loose/ fine debris containing ACM dust (where the work is sporadic and of low intensity, the control limit will not be exceeded and it is short duration work)
Examples include the maintenance or removal of:
- asbestos cement products (eg on roof sheeting, tiles and rainwater goods)
- asbestos in ropes, yarns and woven cloth
- asbestos-containing thermoplastic and vinyl floor tiles, bitumen roof felt, shingles, damp-proofing coatings, and mastics
- asbestos-containing felt and paper
- plastic paint coatings, PVC floors, panels and sealing compounds
- asbestos-containing conveyor belts/drive belts, bonded rubber, electric cables
- resin-based ACMs such as friction products (eg brake linings)
