UKATA Asbestos Non-Licensed Operative Work (exc. Asbestos Awareness) for Groundworkers

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires every employer to ensure that adequate information, instruction and training be given to its employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos, or who supervise such employees.

This course is designed to provide delegates with the theoretical and practical skills required to undertake non-licensable work contained or presumed in soils or below ground.

Delegates will also have theoretical and/or practical knowledge of the safe working methods for non-licenced ACMs, including notifiable non-licenced works, dependant on the scope of works identified in your Training Needs Analysis.
