One of the features of the new Asbestos Control Regulations embodied in the “Control of Asbestos in the Workplace 2006" issued by the government this November 2006 is the need for Asbestos Training for operatives who come into contact with asbestos in their daily work.

It is not sufficient that workers have Asbestos Training just to recognise the various types of materials which are dangerous but they must have Asbestos Training which covers the whole range of awareness and protection.

Specific asbestos training must be given to cover the wearing of protective work-wear as well as asbestos training to recognise the many building products containing asbestos.

In order to avoid a future compensation claim you must make sure your Asbestos Building Survey is carried out by a competent surveyor and your workers have sufficient asbestos training to understand the contents of an asbestos report.

 

 

At Yani Montoya Consultants we have developed an "Asbestos Awareness Training" course which covers all the “need to know” points in the new 2006 legislation.

We have developed an easy to understand Asbestos Awareness Training course which is relevant to both your health and safety professional and an on-site worker.

Our Asbestos Awareness Training can be delivered in your own offices or on site to minimise loss of work time or if large numbers are involved in a suitable venue

Everybody attending our Asbestos Awareness Training will get full course notes for future reference and a certificate of attendance.

It has been our experience over the last few years that operative’s sub-contracting for the larger organisations have to prove attendance at a suitable Asbestos Awareness Training UK course.

With insurance companies being ever more demanding of the level of competence of the workers or sub-contractors their clients employ, proof of Asbestos Awareness Training UK is a must have piece of paper.

MDHS Consultants‘s Asbestos Awareness Training consists of two information sessions linked by a short DVD which brings together all of the content that is necessary to know for the course.

 

 

We will tailor our "Asbestos Awareness Course" to the specific needs of individual clients to include such personnel as:

  • Maintenance Staff
  • Managers and Planning Staff
  • HSE Managers


Undertaking the appropriate training may well reduce incidences of asbestos exposure and lessen the cost of remedial work caused by accidental damage.

 

Our general course will cover the following topics -

  • What is Asbestos?
  • What do you know about asbestos?
  • Where and how it was used?
  • Asbestos? Where? - Diverse case studies of buildings: delegates to identify where asbestos is likely to be found.
  • Adverse Health Effects
  • Choice of Video: "How Are You Today?", "Mesothelioma" or Asbestos - The Facts"
  • Legislation Update
  • Avoiding the risks from Asbestos
  • Dealing with Emergencies
  • Asbestos Removal - What Happens on Site?
  • Sources of further information, summary and final questions

Courses can be held in-house or at outside venues for larger numbers of delegates; to book a course or obtain information please ring, e-mail our office in Nottingham or use our online booking form.
