Course Description:

'' Around 3000 people a year in the UK die from diseases caused by exposure to asbestos and this may rise to nearer 10,000 by 2010. Those involved with refurbishment, repair or maintenance of buildings like plumbers and carpenters are particularly at risk.

Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 created legal duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises and came into force on 21 May 2004.

If you own, occupy, manage or have responsibilities for premises, which may contain asbestos, you will either have:

A legal duty to manage the risk from asbestos materials; or
A duty to co-operate with whoever manages that risk.

Course Objectives:

This course is designed to provide those with responsibilities for maintaining a property, or in control of a building with an awareness of the health risks posed by asbestos and the process of identifying, assessing and managing asbestos containing materials on their premises. The course is presented by a professional occupational hygienist with many years experience of asbestos in buildings
