# NSW Asbestos Clearance (No Air) (/docs/form-guides/building/nsw/nsw-safework-sw08272-asbestos-clearance)



Use this guide when you fill the **Non-friable Asbestos Clearance Certificate - No Air Monitoring** (SW08272) in Tradie Forms. The web form follows the SafeWork NSW PDF layout for this clearance certificate.

[Open the form](/forms/nsw-safework-sw08272-asbestos-clearance) after the Class B removal work is complete and the competent person is ready to carry out the clearance inspection.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

* You need **client details**, **removal work timing and site address**, and **licensed removalist** information from the job.
* The **clearance inspection date and time** should match when you visually inspected the work area.
* The person issuing the clearance completes the declaration with qualifications, signature, and date.
* This edition is **without air monitoring**. Use the separate SafeWork NSW form if your clearance requires air monitoring results.
