Non Notifiable Asbestos Removal Techniques

The course will be of particular interest to those with a direct or indirect responsibility for the management of asbestos in the workplace. Furthermore, the training is suitable for individuals who will come into contact with Asbestos as part of their daily work activity such as:

General maintenance staff; Gas fitters; Plasterers; Roofers; Fire & burglar Alarm Installers; Shop fitters; Electricians; Painters and decorators; Demolition workers; Heating & ventilation engineers; Computer installers; Plumbers; Joiners; Construction workers; Telecoms engineers and Building surveyors. This is not an exhaustive list of personnel that could come into contact with asbestos as part of their day to day activities.

Benefits: It is estimated that over two-million workplaces contain asbestos, which remains the

single biggest cause of work related deaths in the UK. This course enables those responsible for the building, repair and maintenance of commercial properties to identify and deal with asbestos, and meet their legal ‘Duty to Manage’.
