IATP Accredited Asbestos Awareness

Why do our customers choose us?

Every week 20 tradesmen die from asbestos-related disease, therefore this training is a must and is of particular interest to anyone working on buildings, particularly those built or refurbished before 2000.

Participation helps organisations to demonstrate compliance with their statutory duties in addition to providing evidence towards SSIP accreditations. It is currently recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that asbestos awareness training is repeated on an annual basis.

Our courses are delivered by knowledgeable and enthusiastic consultants and trainers all of whom hold adult teaching qualifications supported by a professional qualification and considerable, hands on practical experience which is reflected in our grounded, pragmatic approach.
