Our UKATA registered category ‘C’ Licensable Asbestos Removal New Contract Manager / Director course is for those candidates who are responsible for the plans of work, risk assessments, coshh assessments and the general day to day running of a licensed removal company

The candidate will have normally demonstrated exemplary standards and controls at the highest levels in asbestos removal and will have a wealth of hands on experience already going into this management role.

To ensure that all new candidates have the relevant management skills, knowledge and hands on experience to build upon, enabling them to run a licensed asbestos removal company including planning jobs working safely and keeping statutory records inline with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006.

Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, requires employers to ensure that any employee is given the correct information, instruction and training.

Asbestos is a class 1 carcinogen and requires the most carefully controlled handling and stringent controls to be in place to ensure its correct disposal and ultimate disposal.

The regulations require the candidates to undertake substantial asbestos awareness training, to ensure that these stringent controls are not only understood but are effectively put into place. The regulations clearly make reference to specific guidance ‘HSG 247; Asbestos: The licensed contractors’ guide’ which forms the syllabus for all licensed asbestos removal contractor training. Chapter 4 of the guide details all the theory and practical modules that have to be covered as part of the new asbestos supervisor training course and can be view opposite by clicking on the appropriate link.
