Who should attend?
The course is primarily for anyone with duties under Regulation 4 of CAR 2006 – management of asbestos in non-domestic premises. People have duties if they are responsible for repair or maintenance of premises, and the list can include employers, self-employed people and building owners and managers. The course is also suitable for anyone who has responsibilities for managing risks from asbestos in domestic premises.
Information
This one day course provides delegates with sufficient knowledge to manage asbestos in premises to the standards required by the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2006).
Many people now dying from asbestos related diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer are tradesmen – people who work on and maintain buildings. In addition, users of buildings are now more concerned than ever that risks from asbestos are controlled, and that businesses can demonstrate proper management.
CAR 2006 places duties on anyone who has control over the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises. In practice, this means all workplaces that may contain asbestos. These standards and methods can also be applied by owners and operators of domestic premises to help them manage asbestos risks.
Training approaches include presentation, case studies and the practical use of risk assessment and management tools.
Course includes
- The health effects of asbestos
- Asbestos-containing materials and the risk of incidental exposure
- Legislation and guidance, and the effect of contractual obligations
