Removal of non-friable asbestos
If you are renovating or removing asbestos from your home, it is strongly recommended that you engage a licensed asbestos removal contractor to reduce potential exposure to yourself, your family and your neighbours.
If removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable (bonded) asbestos you will require a certificate.
Department of Health approved courses that provide a certificate:
- module CPCCDE3014 - Remove non-friable asbestos
- online or face to face homeowner and DIY asbestos removal course.
You will not require a certificate if you are removing less than 10 square metres of non-friable materials containing asbestos. However, you will still need to follow safe work procedures and safety precautions to minimise asbestos fibres getting into the air.
For more information and guidance on safe work procedures and safety precautions refer to Asbestos: a guide for minor renovation.
