Removing a single asbestos-containing gas or electric heater - An HSE guidance sheet

This sheet describes good practice when you need to remove:

• a single gas heater (catalytic, radiant, coal- or log-effect); or
• an electric heater (storage, radiant, etc).

This sheet is NOT appropriate if the work involves asbestos insulating board and lasts more than one hour a week for a worker, or more than two hours in total for 2 or more workers. Use an HSE-licensed contractor for such work.

You must use a CORGI-registered contractor to disconnect and make safe gas appliances.
