Asbestos licensing

Applications for asbestos removal Class A, Class B and assessor licences.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act, an asbestos removal is required for the removal of any quantity of friable asbestos, or more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos. Licence holders must notify WorkSafe before undertaking asbestos removal work. No licence is required to remove less than 10m² of non-friable asbestos. If you are carrying out asbestos removal work which does not require a licence you must comply with the duties outlined in the Code of Practice.

Already have a licence in Australia or New Zealand?

If you already have an equivalent asbestos licence from another state or territory, you can work in WA without getting a WA licence.
