business or corporate name, of the person with management or control of the workplace
    * address of the workplace, including the specific location if it is a large workplace
    * kind of workplace where the removal work will be performed (for example, whether it is an office building or construction site and the type of work that is carried out there, if any)
    * date of notification
    * the start date of the removal work and an estimation of how long it will take
    * whether the asbestos to be removed is friable or non-friable
    * the type of the asbestos (for example, asbestos-contaminated sheeting, vinyl tiles, lagging, gaskets)
    * if the asbestos is friable, the way the removal area will be enclosed
    * estimated quantity of asbestos to be removed
    * number of workers who will perform the removal work and details of their competency to carry out removal work.
It may not be possible to provide five days notice, and removal work may commence immediately in the following limited circumstances:
    * a sudden expected event that may lead to a situation where there is a risk of exposure, for example a burst pipe that was lagged with asbestos or a forklift crashing into an asbestos cement sheet wall
    * an unexpected breakdown of an essential service that requires immediate rectification, for example gas, water, sewerage or telecommunications services.
If this is the case, the licensed asbestos removalist must notify the regulator immediately by telephone and in writing within 24 hours after the notice provided over the telephone.

3.7 Limiting access, displaying signs and installing barricades
A person who is carrying out licensed asbestos removal work must ensure that signs indicate where the asbestos removal work is being carried out and barricades are erected to delineate the asbestos area. This will assist in limiting access to the asbestos removal work area.

If the person who commissions the licensed asbestos removal work and the person with management or control of the workplace (if not the same person) is aware that licensed asbestos removal work is being carried out, they must ensure that access to the removal area is limited to the following people:
    * workers who are engaged to carry out the removal work
    * other people who are associated with the removal work
    * people who are allowed under the WHS Regulations or another law to be in the asbestos removal area (for example, inspector, emergency service workers).
A combination of using signs and barricades may be necessary to limit access to the asbestos removal area, for example installing a fence and signs may be used as a method to inform people that it is the asbestos removal area.
