IATP or UKATA Non-Licensed Asbestos Work Refresher (CAT B) Online (Instructor-led)

Live Online Category B Refresher for Trades Working with Asbestos

Course Overview

This course updates the knowledge of delegates who have previously completed a non-licensed asbestos work qualification. It is aimed at trade operatives who carry out tasks with asbestos-containing materials, as described in HSE guidance HSG210 ‘Asbestos Essentials’ and in line with Regulation 3(2) of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Who needs the Non-Licensed Asbestos Work Refresher (CAT B) qualification?

Workers who need this level of information, instruction and training include all tradespeople who undertake tasks that may disturb asbestos and who have completed an initial non-licensed asbestos work qualification within the previous 18 months.

Why is Non-Licensed Asbestos Work Refresher training important?
