This customised Non-Licensed Asbestos/Cat B Asbestos Training course provides you with the knowledge and training to enable you or your employees to work safely with all manner of Non licensed ACM’s (Asbestos containing material).

The Cat B asbestos training is critical to ensure you are adhering to the Control of Asbestos regulations 2012 that prevents anyone working with ACM’s unless they have had the correct training.

Our Non licensed asbestos course incorporates the training requirements set out in the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L143, Reg 10 (Paras 129 – 131) and HSG 210 ‘Asbestos Essentials Task Manual’
