In the North-West, construction safety standards are more stringent than ever before with numerous historic buildings across Manchester, Liverpool and Lancashire requiring renovation. Understanding the dangers of asbestos is essential for anyone in the building trade.

HSE requirements you can’t ignore

The Health and Safety Executive now mandates that all workers involved in building refurbishment, where the fabric of the building will be disturbed, must complete comprehensive asbestos awareness training. This isn’t just bureaucratic red tape; it’s about keeping your workforce safe from potentially deadly exposure.

Real-world training from experienced professionals

Our asbestos awareness courses are delivered by trainers with over 20 years of hands-on experience of dealing with asbestos in diverse situations. This practical knowledge ensures you receive advice that goes beyond textbook learning, focusing on real-life applications that keep workers protected in actual site conditions common throughout the North-West.

Tailored to your business needs

Whether you’re a sole trader in Chester or a large organisation in Blackpool, our training programs are customized to suit both your business requirements and individual learning needs. We’ve successfully trained companies of all sizes across the region, from independent specialists to major blue-chip corporations.

Flexible training options

Training sessions can be conducted at our dedicated facility or your location anywhere in the North-West. We maintain small class sizes, typically under 10 participants, to ensure quality instruction and plenty of opportunity for questions specific to your projects.

For convenience, we offer regular monthly courses open to all as well as bespoke sessions exclusively for your team. Most asbestos awareness courses take approximately three hours to complete, with the option to combine with non-licensed asbestos work training for a comprehensive full-day program.

Recognised certification

Upon successful completion, all delegates receive a certificate issued by the Independent Asbestos Training Providers (IATP) and will need to be reviewed after 12 months. This will provide you with documented evidence of compliance with current regulations. 

Don’t risk your worker’s health or your company’s reputation, ensure your team is properly trained to handle the unique challenges of working with buildings containing asbestos, across the North-West.
