Asbestos Removal Operative

Course review:

This course is designed for those persons who have been working within the asbestos industry, undertaking licensed asbestos removal and have attended the original new operative course or a previous operative refresher within the last 12 months.

This intensive day long course builds upon the initial 3 day new operative course and the practical experience gained by the operative on site. It is vital to ensure all operatives are aware of any changes in regulations, best practices and new techniques whilst reaffirming information concerning health hazards and general site procedures.

Refresher training must be completed annually and operatives whose training has expired MUST NOT work on site. If refresher training is not completed before the expiry date of the previous training, then the operative will need to be trained as a new operative to comply with regulations.

We are able to offer courses of up to12 delegates on any one day whilst ensuring that each training group is never arger than 6 delegates.

All delegates achieving a satisfactory standard in all practical and theoretical assessments for this course will be given certificates and wallet sized training identity cards as proof of their meeting the required standards.
