Abstract This publication is aimed at businesses holding a licence to work with asbestos, either repairing or removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), 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 may be useful to people awarding contracts for such work or who have other asbestos management duties. The guidance replaces most earlier HSE guidance on licensed asbestos removal work. The guidance is split into eight chapters, covering in detail, different aspects of licensed work with ACMs. It provides an overview of asbestos and its health effects, the law and how to work safely with asbestos.
