This will meet the needs of all employees who are at risk of disturbing asbestos; typical examples of trades requiring asbestos awareness training are:

In addition we offer three optional modules that vary in length from 30 minutes to 60 minutes.
Background – this is an introduction mainly focusing on the origins of asbestos, historic and global use and is only for information purposes.
Legislation (aimed at managers and supervisors) – this gives you a brief overview of the law that relates to the management of asbestos and helps you understand when you will not need to use a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
Management Plans (aimed at ‘duty holders’) – this gives you a brief overview of regulation 4 of the control of asbestos regulations then a practical session when we will start to create your management plan. Ideally you’ll need to bring your asbestos register with you.
You can choose one of the above additional modules added to the core module at no additional cost; if you require more than one additional module this could be arranged but there would be an additional charge.
