Can anyone one help, I have just set up procedures for working with and removing non-licensable asbestos containing materials. Employees are due to attend the relevant asbestos essentials training course next week, we have a procedures in place to dispose of the asbestos waste, but I’m getting conflicting messages with regards to the emptying and cleaning of a H Type vac. I am thinking about having a permanent enclosure build next to the secured asbestos waste skip in our compound. This should then allow for the employee to clean out the vacuum safely. I would appreciate any further advice

Emptying must be done by a LICENSED contractor. You should look to set up a contract for this, ideally get them to do the PAT testing and all servicing/maintenance for you.
