What is Non-Licensed Asbestos Training?
(Category B)
Non-licensed and notifiable non-licensed asbestos work (NNLW) entails working with or knowingly disturbing asbestos-containing material first-hand in any capacity.
Doing so means workers on construction sites or other properties need a much higher level of instruction, information and asbestos training to carry out their daily work tasks taking precautions and complying with control of asbestos regulation 2012 laws.
Category A gives the worker quite an entry/beginner level of information and training. Category B is a little more in-depth.

Cat B asbestos training gives those carrying out non-licensed and notifiable non-licensed work further preparation.
The preparation guides how to carry out this work safely should they work with or disturb asbestos.
Category B training covers several control measures that will, in turn, minimise the overall risks at stake. It offers safe work methods, gives guidance on the correct personal protective equipment or gear that they need and should be wearing in asbestos environments, covers the understanding of the risk assessments necessary to each job and location.
The online e-learning courses also cover adequate asbestos waste handling and any vital emergency procedures that the participants must take on board.
Cat B aims to cover all circumstances when non-licensed asbestos work becomes most notifiable.
Specific examples of work
There are many examples of job roles that may require Category B training, and they are pretty similar to those roles that need Category A. However, Category B accounts for those whose work (non-licensed) directly involves asbestos-containing material or work that disturbs asbestos; if your line of work does not include this, you may not require B training.
For example, some electricians need to temporarily move or remove asbestos-containing materials to install cabling in a household or company property. They must receive Category B or further asbestos training. If your work involves the following, you are entitled to some form of Category B training:
Cleaning or repairing asbestos cement sheet roofing.
If you are partaking in asbestos removal for any floor tiles.
Drilling holes into asbestos-containing materials (to install shelving or for sampling).
Reattaching and the removal of any loosely fixed asbestos insulating board panels.
Maintenances work on asbestos-containing conveyor belts, electric cables or bonded rubber.
Short-duration work is necessary to repair minor damages in asbestos insulin boards.
Decipher whether or not a work activity is considered notifiable depends solely on the level of risk and the job role. It is entirely up to the employer to identify the level through carrying out crucial risk assessments. - A great example is that if the work at hand requires removing asbestos-containing materials, especially if they are somewhat unsatisfactory or have high friability, these are often considered notifiable.
Various more complex work activities are not considered licensable but are still notifiable. Those job roles also require 12-months Category B training. However, the training of such would entail covering numerous risks involved in the notifiable work.
Please note that most activities that involve working with forms of higher risk asbestos-containing materials are considered licensed work.
