Removal of Non-licensed and Notifiable Non-licensed Asbestos..

The HSE require that training is provided to all employees whose work activities could potentially or will expose them to asbestos.

What is the objective of this course?

Each delegate shall undertake a practical session and pass an examination to demonstrate the knowledge they have gained within the training course. This will allow each delegate to demonstrate competence in removal of non-licensed asbestos materials to the HSE.
