Class A Asbestos Removal Licence — verification in WA

A Class A licence authorises a business to remove any type of asbestos in WA, including friable asbestos — the highest-risk category of removal work, subject to strict notification, supervision and clearance requirements.

Who needs it

Businesses removing friable asbestos or asbestos-contaminated dust in any quantity. Class A work also requires a nominated supervisor and independent clearance by a licensed assessor.

How verification works

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.

Verified against the WA Government Online Licence Search, operated by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. Where the register and this page differ, the register prevails.
