Training and Testing Services no longer offer on-site asbestos awareness training.
As an alternative please see the online asbestos awareness course which is IATP (Independent Asbestos Training Providers) approved.
Asbestos Training is an essential part of keeping employees who work in asbestos environments safe. It provides individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect themselves at work by learning the correct practices of recognising asbestos.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons and duty holders. It covers all work with asbestos containing materials. Regulation 10 of CAR states that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.
As well as informing candidates about the risks of working with asbestos, the asbestos training course will deliver
content to help them recognise asbestos containing materials, make them aware of where it was used, include steps they can take to minimise the risks and discuss the legislation that applies to working with asbestos.
Each module is rounded off with several multiple-choice questions, candidates are required to get 100% on these tests to pass the course. They have the opportunity to review all the answers at the end of each module before final submission and will be given 3 attempts to achieve the required result.
