Whilst contractors will need an appropriate level of awareness and understanding of all relevant legislation and guidance, the Approved Code of Practice L143 and all publications listed in the section "Detailed guidance for work with asbestos" will be of particular importance to licence holders. It is expected that applicants will have copies of these documents available for reference.
Where possible HSE will provide a PDF version of documents. These documents can be viewed on your computer or printed on your own printer.
