ASBESTOS AWARENESS
Asbestos Awareness Training
In accordance with Regulation 10 of the control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and in supporting the ACoP and guidance in L143 it is a legal requirement that all who may come across asbestos in their day to day work have been provided with asbestos awareness training.
If they will intentionally work on asbestos they must have had appropriate training specific to the tasks they will undertake as defined by the HSE’s Asbestos Essentials task sheets.
ABOUT THE COURSE
