Asbestos Awareness (including UKATA)

CITB have introduced a new initiative called the Employer Network simplifying the way levy paying employers can access funding for training support. Training can be undertaken in anything that supports construction employees and can be online or in person. The scheme has reduced time consuming applications and can result in significant savings for the employer, with 70% of course fees being paid directly by CITB. Get in touch below for more information about these discounts and how your team can benefit from them!

Course:

Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are a legacy that will need to be monitored and rigorously controlled for decades to come. Past exposure to airborne asbestos fibres is the cause of death for over 5,000 people every year in the UK. This number of deaths from asbestos-related diseases is unlikely to fall in the next few years.

Aim:

The course is designed to raise awareness and develop understanding about the dangers of asbestos, why it needs to be controlled and how it must be managed in business premises and in construction work.

Who should Attend:

Anyone responsible for managing premises; who supervises or undertakes building maintenance; who engage contractors to do work on a building or structure; anyone working in traditional construction trades; those carrying out telephone and IT cable installation in premises built before 2000.

Course Outline:

  • Types of asbestos used in the UK

  • ACMs commonly found in premises built before 2000.

  • UK law and the ‘duty to manage’ asbestos

  • Asbestos Management Survey – report format, findings and recommendations

  • Asbestos Management Plans

  • Control measures to prevent accidental disturbance or damage to ACMs

  • Planning alteration, modification or demolition of buildings

  • Refurbishment and Demolition Survey
