Asbestos assessor licenses are required to provide air monitoring and clearance certificates in relation to friable asbestos removal work.

Clearance certificates must be issued by independent asbestos assessors for all friable asbestos removal work before a site can be reoccupied.

In NSW, asbestos assessor licence holders can carry out air monitoring and clearance inspections for Class A asbestos work, which covers both friable and non-friable asbestos.

CPCCDE5001 Conduct air monitoring and clearance inspections for asbestos removal work

Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to visually inspect and use a range of measuring devices to undertake the monitoring of airborne asbestos fibres in the workplace as an integral part of identifying hazards, assessing risks, monitoring the effectiveness of controls, and ensuring that the workplace is free of visible asbestos fibres and air monitoring results are at acceptable levels prior to reoccupation.

The unit includes the planning of the monitoring process, the selection and use of processes and air-monitoring equipment, the conduct of the assessment process, and the proper handling and interpretation of results.

Asbestos assessment and air monitoring are required during all friable (Class A) asbestos removal and for non-friable (Class B) asbestos removal where a risk assessment indicates that airborne asbestos fibres may result from the removal activity.

License Requirements

Licenses are required in most states and territories. Work must be completed according to relevant legislative, code of practice, industry, customer and organisational requirements, including work health and safety (WHS) policies and procedures. Analysis of samples must conform to National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) or other accredited laboratory requirements and standards.
