Our Asbestos Awareness courses include
The use of all forms of asbestos were banned in 1999. However, many buildings, and some plant and equipment, still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Before you start any work in a building that might contain asbestos (e.g. built or refurbished before the year 2000), you need to do the following:
- Identify whether asbestos is present
- Determine its type and condition
- Carry out a risk assessment
- Decide if the work needs to be carried out by a non-licensed or licensed contractor
- Decide if the work needs to be notified
- Ensure those carrying out the work are suitably trained
Our Non-licenced and Notifiable Non-licenced Asbestos courses include;
Upon successfully completion of any of the above courses candidates will be issued with PDF certificate, all certificates are valid for 12 months including those issued by UKATA.
Asbestos Awareness
Accredited by the United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association, this course meets the provision of asbestos awareness training as contained within the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR).
Asbestos awareness training is required to be given to employees whose work could foreseeably expose them to asbestos. In particular, it should be given to all demolition workers and those workers in the refurbishment, maintenance and allied trades where it is foreseeable that their work will disturb the fabric of the building because ACMs may become exposed during their work. Exemption from this requirement would apply only where the employer can demonstrate that work will only be carried out in or on buildings free of ACMs.
Asbestos awareness training is not training to work with any forms of asbestos. It is likely to form the first part of training for work with asbestos, but on its own it is does not meet the legal requirements laid down under CAR.
Who is the course aimed at?
Supervisors and trades personnel, including trainees such as but not limited to: demolition workers, construction workers, general maintenance staff, electricians, plumbers, gas fitters, painters and decorators, joiners, plasterers, roofers, heating and ventilation engineers, telecommunication engineers, fire and burglar alarm installers, computer installers, architects, building surveyors, shopfitters and other such professionals.
Note: Architects, building surveyors and other such professionals may require a more developed course which includes the core syllabus in this course, however with an additional module which includes the interaction between the various duties under the Construction Design and Management Regulations and those within CAR.
On successfully completing the course candidates will be issued with a UKATA Certificate as a PDF, certificates are valid for 12th months.
