Asbestos Training Courses

It is estimated that over two million work places contain asbestos, which remains the single biggest cause of work related deaths in the UK. Any organisation that allows builders or maintenance personnel onto their premises should ensure that they have evidence of asbestos awareness training. You Can Do It .Training & partners provides a quality standard for that training.​

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 include the requirement for training employees who work or disturb asbestos, referred to as non-licensable asbestos work or minor works. Persons requiring this type of training would include those whose work will knowingly disturb ACMs, such as plumbers, carpenters, electricians, maintenance and demolition workers.

The Non-licensed Operative course is fully compliant, as outlined within version 7 of the National Schedule of Rates.
