Codes of Practice

Codes of Practice provide practical information and guidance on how to meet the requirements of the regulations.

These Codes of Practice apply to all duty holders including:

  • the person who commissioned the asbestos removal work
  • the person with management and control of the workplace
  • asbestos licence holders.

The Codes are not mandatory but provide information to help workplaces achieve safe systems of work. If a workplace chooses not to follow a model Code of Practice they must have guidelines and safe work practices to an equal or better standard than is contained in the Code.
