the workplace.
If the workplace is a domestic premises, the licensed asbestos removalist must, so far as is reasonably practicable, before commencing the licensed asbestos removal work tell the following people about the asbestos removal work and when it will commence:
    * the person who commissioned the asbestos removal work
    * a person conducting a business or undertaking at the workplace
    * the occupier of the domestic premises
    * the owner of the domestic premises
    * anyone occupying premises in the immediate vicinity of the workplace.

Providing information to persons that may carry out licensed asbestos work
A licensed asbestos removalist must provide the following information to a person who is likely to be engaged to carry out the work:
    * the health risks and health effects associated with exposure to asbestos
    * the need for and details of health monitoring of a worker carrying out licensed asbestos removal work. Section 1.4 of this Code provides more specific details on health monitoring.

3.4 Obtaining the asbestos register
Before commencing the licensed asbestos removal work, the licensed asbestos removalist must obtain a copy of the asbestos register for the workplace from the person with management or control of the workplace.
This provision does not apply if the work is being carried out at a domestic premise.

3.5 Preparing an asbestos removal control plan
A licensed asbestos removalist must prepare an asbestos removal control plan for any licensed asbestos removal work they are commissioned to undertake.

What is the purpose of an asbestos removal control plan?
An asbestos removal control plan is a document that identifies the specific control measures a licence holder will use to ensure workers and other persons are not at risk when asbestos removal work is being conducted. It is similar to a job safety analysis (JSA) but is focused on the specific control measures necessary to minimise any risk from exposure to asbestos.
An asbestos removal control plan helps ensure the asbestos removal is well planned and carried out in a safe manner. An asbestos removal control plan is only required to be prepared for licensed asbestos removal work. However, one can be prepared to assist when planning asbestos removal work that does not require a licence.
The licensed asbestos removalist must also take into account any asbestos register relevant to the asbestos to be removed and the area to be worked on. The structure of the asbestos removal control plan may be generic but each plan must address the specific situation requirements for each job.

When is an asbestos control removal plan required to be prepared?
The asbestos removal control plan must be prepared before the licensed asbestos removal work commences.
