IATP Asbestos Awareness

COURSE INTRODUCTION

Asbestos Awareness courses have become commonplace in the last decade, mainly due to the amount of asbestos still contained in building across the U.K and the entire world. While asbestos can be safe as long as it is undisturbed, any maintenance work in an area containing asbestos can lead to life-ending problems for the workers in the future.

This course can also be delivered as a EUSR (Energy & Utility Skills Register) accredited programme where required. If you would like more information, please contact us online or call 01792 585868.

Please note: We currently only offer EUSR accredited qualifications as privately run courses.
