6.—(1) This regulation shall apply to any work in which an employee is or is liable to be exposed to asbestos unless—
(a)the extent of that exposure neither exceeds nor is liable to exceed the action level; or
(b)the employer is licensed under regulation 3(1) of the Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations 1983(1) to carry out the work and is doing so in accordance with the terms and conditions of that licence or is exempted by regulation 3(2)(b) of those Regulations from those requirements.

(3) Where an employer has notified work in accordance with paragraph (2) and there is a material change in that work which might affect the particulars so notified (including the cessation of the work), the employer shall forthwith notify the enforcing authority of that change.
(4) Where the work with asbestos was commenced before the date of coming into force of these Regulations or is commenced within 56 days after that date, it shall be sufficient compliance with paragraph (2) if the employer either—
