Abstract
Intended for businesses holding a licence to work with asbestos, either repairing or removing asbestos-containing materials, supervising such work, holding an ancillary licence or providing training on asbestos. Employers who carry out work with asbestos insulation, asbestos coating, and asbestos insulating board using their own employees on their own premises, who are exempted from the requirement to hold a licence, also need this guidance. It will also be of use to those awarding contracts for such work or who have other asbestos management duties.
