Licensing
WorkCover’s licensing system protects removal workers, building occupants and the public by ensuring that contractors have the appropriate skills, training and experience in asbestos removal work to prevent occupational and environmental contamination.
The permit and notification requirements allow monitoring of asbestos removal projects on a job-by-job basis, ensuring compliance with legislation and nationally-agreed work methods.
