What's the difference between Non-Licenced work and Notifiable Non-licenced work?

its mainly down to the type and condition of the material and/or the duration of the works.
There is a flow chart on the hse website that you can follow to identify if your works fall into either category.

Alan,
Generally, Licensed materials are concentrated and more likely to give off fibres if disturbed like pipe lagging, Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB), Loose fill or Sprayed on coatings (Steel beam type coatings).
The remaining selection of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are generally considered to be non-licensed materials such as asbestos cement, plastics, bitumen, paper, millboard etc.
The Notifiable Non-Licensed Asbestos category is where traditionally non-licensed materials are in poor condition and likely to give off a high number of fibres if disturbed. Licensed work is notifiable to the HSE anyway, due to the hazardous nature of the substances in question, but if Non-licensed materials are likely to give off lots of fibres, then you have to notify the HSE too.
Hope this helps,
Andrew

Ours is roofing and cladding materials in good condition taking out as full sheets and replacing with plastisol sheeting
Was looking at health checks for employees as by April next year we have to introduce medical checks for Notifiable non licensed works and was going to introduce this as our standard for all employees likely to come into contact with asbestos regardless of licenced non licenced
cheers
