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.

We provide asbestos training for people who carry out work with asbestos that does not require a licence, e.g. maintenance workers and their supervisors, in addition to basic asbestos awareness 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’
