Safe Removal of Textured Coating containing Asbestos
(unlicensed works ACOP L143)
Max 10 persons duration 2 days minimum
THE CONTROL OF ASBESTOS REGULATIONS 2006
*The requirement to carry ‘minor works’ training ACOP L143*
Textured decorative coatings (Commonly known as artex) can be worked on or disturbed for a number of reasons, including during maintenance and repair, during replacement of lights and other fittings, during removal as part of room or building refurbishment and during removal or repair following damage due to water, fire or other accidental or deliberate acts. As indicated in L143 most work with textured decorative coatings is likely only to produce sporadic and low intensity worker exposure and can be categorised as complying with regulation 3(2) as long as 3(2)(b) is fulfilled, i.e. it is clear from the risk assessment that the control limit will not be exceeded.
