(1) A Class A asbestos removal licence holder must, so far as is reasonably practicable, enclose the area where the Class A asbestos removal work is performed so as to prevent the release of airborne asbestos fibres.

(2) For the purposes of subregulation (1), a Class A asbestos removal licence holder must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the enclosure is smoke-tested by using a smoke-generating device to detect any leaks or other deficiencies in the enclosure before asbestos removal work commences.

(3) A Class A asbestos removal licence holder must, so far as is reasonably practicable, use a wet method when performing Class A asbestos removal work.

(4) For the purposes of subregulation (3), wet method means the use of water or another wetting agent to soak or totally saturate the asbestos, or the spraying of water or another wetting agent on the asbestos, but does not include the use of a high pressure water jet.
