Our asbestos removal services are non-licensed. This means that we are permitted to safely handle and remove most asbestos containing materials (ACMs), including:
• Asbestos cement products
• Small areas of textured asbestos coatings (such as ceilings)
• Floor tiles
There are some asbestos removal tasks involving lower risk asbestos-containing materials do not require a license. However the work should be undertaken by competent persons only and all health and safety regulations still apply.
In April 2012 the regulations updated, there are now two categories one of which 'notifiable', has additional employer. Although some asbestos removals are classed as non-licensable works must still be carried out by suitably trained and qualified operatives utilising the correct RPE & PPE. With the introduction of notifiable, non-licensed work (NNLW) some non-licensed work requires notification to the HSE. As part of the removal operatives will need medical surveillance and records will need to be kept for 40 years.
EMS can comply with all of these requirements.
EMS asbestos removal teams are highly trained and experienced, guaranteeing a safe, legally compliant removal process.
Licensed Removal
The removal of higher risk asbestos-containing materials (sprayed asbestos coatings, asbestos insulating boards, asbestos lagging for example) must be carried out by a licensed contractor. These higher-risk materials are more likely to release asbestos fibres when disturbed or being removed rather than lower risk materials such as vinyl floor tiles which are less likely to release fibres.
Workers who are employed in removing high risk ACM's require specific training and should follow specific working practices. Workers will also use sophisticated respiratory protective equipment (RPE) and are legally required to be under regular medical surveillance. It is because of the high-risk nature of this work that a license is required from the HSE to do it.
EMS can arrange, supervise or project manage large or licensed projects. We can also oversee the analysts, as recommended by HSG248 the analysts should be appointed by the client.
