What work can you do?
What can a trained non-licensed contractor do? Select the navigation buttons below to find out the types of maintenance jobs which you can do with the right non-licensed training and the correct equipment. Anything beyond this type of work requires specialist help.
[D]The aim is not to stop people working, but to ensure they are working safely. So... what can you do? Normally, non-licensed work includes work on asbestos cement sheet, asbestos-containing textured coatings and certain work of 'short duration' on asbestos insulating board. 'Short duration' means any one person doing this type of work for less than 1 hour, or more people doing the work for a total of less than 2 hours, in any 7 day period.
But, remember, you need to have job-specific non-licensed training first.
Further examples and guidance on non-licensed work can be found in HSE's publication, Asbestos Essentials (HSG 210) which can be found at: www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/essentials/index.htm
