Asbestos Awareness 

A half-day course for those needing to fulfil the minimum requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2006.

What will you learn?

Who should attend?

Those whose work could potentially expose them to asbestos, particularly demolition workers and those in the refurbishment, maintenance and allied trades. Exemption from this requirement applies only where the employer can demonstrate that work will only be carried out in or on buildings free of ACMs.
