It has been prepared as a resource for building maintenance contractors to refer to in situations where a job may require them to modify or manage their normal work practices so that asbestos containing materials are handled appropriately.
The scope of this document excludes friable asbestos containing materials. As of 1 June 2010, operators removing more than ten square metres of bonded asbestos at a workplace will need to hold an asbestos licence issued by WorkSafe Western Australia. This will supplement the licensing requirement already in place for work involving the removal of friable asbestos.
