Getting Properly Trained

As a trades person yourself you know only to well how important it is to get the right level of training and understanding. Asbestos is a class 1 carcinogen and known to cause asbestos related diseases whenthe tiny minute fibres are inhaled, which makes it even more of a reason to be properly trained given that the work you undertake, could involve disturbing the fabric of the building, which if asbestos was present, could potentially if breathed in, affect your health later on in life.

What the Law Says

The UK Government like other countries, has specific legislation in place to deal with asbestos by way of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Regulation 10 ‘Information, Instruction and Training’, places a mandatory requirement to ensure that anyone who could come across asbestos as part of there normal everyday work has Asbestos Awareness Training.
