UKATA Duty to Manage Asbestos Training Course

This UKATA approved Duty to Manage Asbestos training course is intended for any person who requires an overview of the duty to manage asbestos and legislative requirements who have previously attended UKATA's Duty to Manage (Overview) course. 

Asbestos is one of the biggest occupational health issues in the UK. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures suggest that approximately 5000 people die each year in the UK due to past exposure to asbestos. In excess of six million tonnes of asbestos were imported into the UK prior to it being banned in 1999; much of this still remains. Regulation 4 of The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires that asbestos is managed in non-domestic premises so that no one is exposed to asbestos in the future.

This UKATA approved Duty to Manage Asbestos training courses is essential for anyone assisting in the compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, Regulation 4.
