Suitable For: All workers who are liable to disturb asbestos during their normal work should be trained so that they can recognise asbestos containing materials and know what to do if they come across them. The training needs to be appropriate for the work and the roles undertaken by individuals. You will need awareness training so you know how to avoid the risks and how to protect yourself - we also offer yearly refresher tool box training.
