What is Class A asbestos removal?  This is for the removal of any amount of FRIABLE asbestos containing materials.  This work must be carried out by an asbestos removal contractor with: - a Worksafe Class A licence - a Class A supervisor who holds qualifications (NZQA 29766 & 29767 or Australian equivalent) plus at least three years of relevant industry experience & a minimum of 600 days of removing friable asbestos - all operatives carrying out the removal work holding Class A removal training (NZQA 29766 or Australian equivalent)  There is usually an enclosure (big polythene tent) around the work area as part of the control measures and has at least a 3 stage decontamination unit for the workers and all of the wrapped waste to be cleaned thoroughly on exiting the enclosure. The work is monitored throughout with air testing carried out by a WorkSafe Licensed Independent Assessor (like us!). A four stage clearance inspection is carried out by the Independent Assessor & a clearance certificate is issued for reoccupation once everything has passed.  Did you know we offer Class A training through Besafe Training Ltd?  Alannah, our training manager, delivers NZQA unit standard training, plus brings her enthusiasm and passion for developing industry professionals to every class.  Message our page to find out more! #Jargon #JargonDecoded #Asbestos #AsbestosAwareness #PCBU #Dutyholder

A completely new clause, Part VIA – Notification of Occupation of Place of Work, Installation and Inspection of Plant, etc., has been introduced in the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 – Act A1648, covering sections 27A to 27G.   Let's discuss Section 27D, which pertains to the Certificate of Fitness (Plant), and provide an overview of its implementation. Most of the process should already be familiar to you.   To obtain a Certificate of Fitness (COF) for a plant or installation, you typically need to follow a set of procedures that ensure compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations. The exact process can vary based on jurisdiction and the type of installation (e.g., boilers, pressure vessels, elevators, etc.) #OSHA #OSH #Boiler #Safety
