Please contact us to discuss your situation and gain further information or guidance. An example is the following course which is a requirement for asbestos removal companies who wish to obtain a Restricted Asbestos Licence from WorkSafe WA.

Restricted Asbestos Licence (separate course)

A Restricted Asbestos Licence (WSRAL001) is required by law in Western Australia for the removal of materials that contain non-friable asbestos. Holding a current licence allows your company to remove amounts exceeding 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos. Removal of Friable asbestos requires an Unrestricted Licence. Please contact WorkSafe WA for further information.

You can complete the WSRAL001 course on the same day as the Supervisor Course for an additional $100.

Application for WorkSafe WA Restricted Asbestos Removal Licence WSRAL001

The WSRAL course is a pre-requisite for your application to Worksafe to receive your Restricted Asbestos Licence for WA. This licence is valid for three years. For more information on this licence, the application, fees and Worksafe requirements, please visit their website click here.
