Asbestos Training

CAR 2012 Regulation 10 requires employers to make sure that anyone liable to disturb asbestos during their work, or who supervises such employees, receives the correct level of information, instruction and training to enable them to carry out their work safely and competently and without risk to themselves or others.

If you require advice on asbestos, working with asbestos, or your duties under CAR 2012 we’d be delighted to offer our assistance.

We can arrange for training of your workforce and managers, whether to improve their asbestos knowledge as part of their continuing professional development or to assist with general health and safety compliance.

Combining our in-house knowledge and expertise with approved, accredited external training providers we can provide courses to suit all requirements.
