Removal:

of asbestos cement products, (eg roof sheeting and rainwater goods) provided the material is carefully handled/removed without breaking up; this includes work with asbestos cement which is weathered but not otherwise substantially damaged
of small areas of textured decorative coatings using suitable dust-reducing methods, to support other activities such as installation/replacement of smoke alarms and light fittings
without deterioration, of textured decorative coatings (eg if the backing board is carefully cut around to achieve virtually intact removal)
and re-attachment of loosely fixed (eg screwed) asbestos insulating board (AIB) panels in order to gain access to areas for other maintenance activities (eg under a bath to carry out pipework maintenance, or for access to a ceiling void for repair of lighting)
of an AIB door with asbestos fire-proofing

Maintenance work:

involving asbestos cement products (eg on roof sheeting, tiles and rainwater goods)
involving asbestos in ropes, yarns and woven cloth
on asbestos gaskets or asbestos rope cords (including removal as part of repair and upkeep of equipment) if this can be done without substantial breakage
involving asbestos-containing thermoplastic and vinyl floor tiles, bitumen roof felt, shingles, damp-proofing coatings, and mastics
- of asbestos-containing felt and paper
involving plastic paint coatings, PVC floors, panels and sealing compounds
on asbestos-containing conveyor belts/drive belts, bonded rubber, electric cables
of resin-based ACMs such as friction products (eg brake linings)

Short duration work:

Other work:

drilling of textured decorative coatings for installation of fixtures/fittings
encapsulation and sealing-in work on asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that are in good condition
painting/repainting AIB that is in good condition
cleaning up small quantities of loose/ fine debris containing ACM dust (where the work is sporadic and of low intensity, the control limit will not be exceeded and it is short-duration work)
on other materials containing asbestos (such as paints, bitumen, resins, rubber, etc) where the fibres are bound in a matrix which prevents most of them being released (this includes, typically, aged/weathered AC)
associated with collecting and analysing samples to identify the presence of asbestos

Further examples of non-licensed work are available in Asbestos Essentials.
