Frequently Asked Questions
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, those working in an area where asbestos might be present have a ‘duty to manage’ the asbestos, and this will generally mean a designated person whose job it is to assess risk and deal with the issue should any asbestos be encountered. Generally, if asbestos is present at a site, then it’s very likely to be the case that a licensed contractor will need to carry out the work. The UK’s Health and Safety Executive issues these licenses.

Booking was easy the website had all the information I needed so once I booked the package I then received notification to allocate the spaces, which again was really simple to do, our staff will be doing this training on the January training day, but if they wanted to do it before they now could so for staff who work part time it's perfect.
