COURSE OVERVIEW
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, employers have a legal duty to ensure that anyone who might disturb asbestos-containing materials receives appropriate information and training.
This programme provides essential knowledge about asbestos, the serious health risks it presents, and the safe systems of work required to prevent exposure.
Delegates gain awareness of how to recognise potential ACMs, understand responsibilities, and follow correct procedures that protect both workers and the public.
PROBLEMS THIS TRAINING HELPS YOU AVOID
Without proper asbestos awareness, even routine maintenance or installation work can unintentionally disturb hazardous materials. This can expose workers, occupants, and contractors to serious danger while placing significant legal and financial responsibility on the organisation.
