Asbestos Training

Asbestos pops up all over the place in buildings, because it was so widely used across the World but particularly in the UK it is one of those issues we just sometimes cannot avoid. The UK invested nearly 60 years in using asbestos within the fabric of its buildings, giving rise to the horrendous legacy effects of ill health and death amongst UK workers.

At the last count, 5’500 people were losing their lives each and every year.

Whether you are an electrician, a roofer or a grounds-worker it is highly likely certain aspects of your day-to-day work bring you into contact with asbestos containing materials (ACM’s).

Training to work on these products is essential, both to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, but also to have the knowledge of how to deal with all the other requirements like risk-assessments, method-statements, disposal, and transport to name a few.

By taking part in an accredited training session you are assured of a quality service that has been audited externally. Our courses have been audited by the Independent Asbestos Training Providers (IATP).

Courses run under the IATP accreditation are 1-day in duration and include asbestos awareness in the syllabus. This avoids the longer and more costly route stipulated by UKATA, of doing a separate asbestos awareness course prior to a 1-day non-licensed course saving you both time and money.
