The category depends on the material, its condition and the method used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is notifiable non-licensed work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA category introduced by CAR 2012. It does not need a licence, but it must be notified to the relevant enforcing authority, records must be kept and workers need medical surveillance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this course allow us to carry out licensed asbestos work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Licensed work, which includes most work on sprayed coatings, lagging and asbestos insulating board, must be carried out by a contractor licensed by the HSE. No training course replaces that licence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo we still need face fit testing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for any tight-fitting RPE. The course explains why it matters, but the face fit test itself is arranged separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the certificate valid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne year.
