Home/Services/ISO Standards/ISO 45001 + Class A Asbestos
ISO 45001 + CLASS A ASBESTOS REMOVAL

The safety system behind a Class A licence.

WorkSafe expects a certified safety management system behind every Class A asbestos removal licence. We build ISO 45001 shaped around removal work — friable controls, air monitoring, decontamination, clearance — and take it through certification.

WHO IT SERVES

Built for removalists whose licence is the business.

USE-01
Getting or keeping the Class A licence

WorkSafe requires a certified SMS for Class A licence applications and renewals. We plan the build backwards from your licence date.

USE-02
Controls that match the regulations

Removal control plans, enclosure and NPU protocols, air monitoring and clearance procedures — mapped to the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.

USE-03
Evidence WorkSafe can walk through

Notifications, medicals, training records, clearance certificates — one register set, inspection-ready at any site.

Q&A — ASBESTOS SMS

Usually, yes — urgent licence-driven builds are a specialty. We triage against the WorkSafe checklist first, certify on a compressed programme, and tell you plainly on the scoping call if the date can't be met.

An independent, JAS-ANZ accredited certification body — never us. We build the system, prepare your team and support you through their Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. That separation is what makes the certificate credible.

Class B doesn't require a certified SMS, but removalists planning to step up to Class A build once instead of twice. The same system covers both classes; the licence scope is the only difference.
