Asbestos Awareness the last A in our series of short blogs looking at the A to Z of courses we do.

Asbestos is still very common, especially in older buildings and can lay hidden for many years.  Our training course for asbestos awareness is intended to give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos, the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos. It will not prepare workers, or self-employed contractors, to carry out work with asbestos-containing materials or its removal.  However, asbestos comes in many forms and recognising it before disruption is essential.

Accreditation

Upon successful completion of the course the candidates will received a Kentra Training ID card (credit card size) detailing the course completed.

We work with the HSE advises for when refresher training is due.

They recommend refresher training every 3 – 5 years, depending on the frequency of the candidates use of the knowledge. For example if the candidate is using the machinery or equipment on a daily or weekly basis they would be able to have a longer time, 5 years before a refresher is required, whereas less frequent users are 3 years.
