What about Waivers?

Occasionally, on request, a waiver of the 10 day notification period may be applied for from the Authority, which will consider the reasons for the waiver request.
It should be noted that well planned, risk assessed and properly surveyed work should not require a request for a waiver.
Ideally waiver requests should occur infrequently and generally result from accidents or dangerous occurrences which require urgent remedial action to be undertaken that could not be anticipated or foreseen. 

All waiver requests must be sent to asbestos.notif@hsa.ie with all the Notification requirements and a letter from the Client outlining the reasons for the waiver request. 

Works may only commence once the Authority has formally granted the waiver of the notification period in writing together with the unique Permit Number.
