Asbestos Removal and Assessor Licence — verification in NSW

Asbestos work in New South Wales is licensed by SafeWork NSW. A Class A licence authorises removal of all asbestos including friable material, a Class B licence covers non-friable (bonded) asbestos above the small-quantity threshold, and licensed asbestos assessors carry out the air monitoring and clearance inspections required for Class A work.

Who needs it

Businesses removing asbestos in NSW — Class A for friable material, Class B for bonded material over 10 square metres — and the occupational hygienists and safety professionals working as licensed asbestos assessors.

How verification works

A register search returns the licence holder, the licence class, the status and the expiry date. Refchecks licence verification covers construction credentials — the White Card, High Risk Work Licences and trade licences — read from the candidate's document and confirmed against the state register in a single check. This record type sits outside that scope.
