Asbestos Awareness in Wolverhampton, West Midlands (Classroom)

Asbestos Awareness Course in Wolverhampton

Asbestos Awareness is a half-day course for anyone whose work could foreseeably disturb asbestos-containing materials. It is a legal requirement under Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for maintenance workers, electricians, plumbers, joiners and similar trades working on buildings constructed or refurbished before the year 2000.

This is an awareness course. It does not qualify anyone to work with or remove asbestos — it teaches you to recognise it and stop.
