Our UKATA registered category ‘C’ Licensable Scaffolder Asbestos Awareness course is for those candidates who have been chosen to take on the role of erecting scaffold that is licensable and forms part of the working enclosure

To ensure that all new Scaffolder’s have the correct training skills, knowledge and hands on experience to build upon, enabling them to erect scaffolds for use by licensed asbestos removal contractors as required by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012., and HSG 247, Asbestos; The licensed contractors’ guide.

Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, 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 Scaffolder asbestos awareness and Scaffold Manager  course.
