NDTG launch face fit tester course

Following requests from members of the training group, NDTG have launched a new course for face fitting of masks.

The course will train persons in the correct fitting of face masks for dust and non notifiable asbestos work, and is similar to the C&D course that we ran last year to great success and that we repeat on a regular basis.

We would recommend that you book yourself onto the NDTG course as it will save time and money in the long run. Places are strictly limited so click through to the NDTG website and book your place now.

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’.
