Recognition, avoidance and disposal

Sadly, the statistics speak for themselves: 4,000 people die each year in the UK from asbestos-related diseases. This asbestos training Manchester course is intended to educate employees on the dangers of asbestos, where it can be found in building materials, and what to do in the case of accidental damage and exposure. Delegates will be provided with detailed information and guidance on the new Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Our course meets the HSE objectives and CAR 2012 Regulation 10 for asbestos awareness training.

In recent times, it has become a legal requirement that those who are likely to encounter asbestos in their daily line of work to be able to show that they have been given the required level of asbestos awareness training in order to prove that they can carry out their duties without posing a threat to themselves or others.
If an employee is required to work with asbestos directly then the appropriate asbestos awareness training is absolutely essential.
Hardy Services are able to provide building and maintenance companies with the full level of asbestos awareness training they require so that they can ensure that their personnel are adequately trained and fully competent in the accurate identification and assessment of asbestos based materials with the additional knowledge of how to handle the material correctly for safe removal and disposal of contaminated items.

The course content includes.

• Asbestos Facts
• Types of asbestos
• Exposure to asbestos & associated health risks
• Guide to asbestos containing material
• Guide to friable and non friable materials
• Possible locations of ACM’s (asbestos containing materials)
• Legislation (including recent changes)

Manual handling causes more than a third of all ‘over-three-day injuries’ reported each year to HSE and local authorities. Unsurprisingly, these incidents usually occur when operatives are transporting or supporting loads by hand or by using bodily force.

Injuries most commonly occur in the workplace – on farms and building sites, in factories, offices, warehouses, hospitals, banks, laboratories, and whilst making deliveries.
