“Delivery of service and quality, always first class”
Richard Petrie – Senior Project Manager – Overbury (London)
Why might your London organisation require asbestos training?
The fibrous silicate mineral known as asbestos may have been banned in the UK since 1999, but this sadly does not mean it is only of “historical” relevance.
It has been estimated in recent years that there could still be as many as 1.5 million buildings up and down the UK in which asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present. Those materials, if they are disturbed or in poor condition, can pose serious risks to human health.
Inevitably, then, there are many public, commercial, and residential buildings in London and the South East of England that are suspected or confirmed to contain ACMs, and where there is a need for such materials’ proactive and careful management.
As we have written about in the past here at Oracle Solutions, different types of asbestos training exist in the UK. There are three main categories – Category A, B, and C – that fulfil most people’s asbestos training requirements.
Ensuring that your personnel in London or South East England receive the appropriate form of asbestos training for the work they will be carrying out, will be imperative for ensuring their safety.
Such training will also help fulfil the requirement – as set out in Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) – for employers to make sure anyone liable to disturb asbestos during their work (or who supervises such employees) receives the correct level of information, instruction, and training to enable them to carry out their work safely and confidently.
Make Oracle Solutions your go-to choice for asbestos training in London
Your business might be situated in the City, Southwark, Soho, Bloomsbury, Holborn, Greenwich, or another part of London, or you may carry out your activities elsewhere in South East England.
Whatever your organisation’s exact location or the work it undertakes that presents the risk of asbestos being disturbed, you will likely be greatly reassured by Oracle Solutions’ own training courses that are approved by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
There are other great reasons to choose Oracle Solutions for asbestos training:
- Our status as a fully accredited asbestos training provider
- Our entirely bespoke, UKATA-accredited modern training centre
- Our ability to come to you – instead of you coming to us – to deliver asbestos training, if needed
- Our delivery of the training content that enables your organisation to satisfy its legal obligations
- The HSE-recognised certificate that your workers will receive on completion of the training.
Another thing that your workers will notice when they receive training from us, is our experts’ genuine love for what they do. The management of asbestos might seem a “dry” or “boring” subject at first glance. However, our trainers know how to provide a training experience that is interesting, informative, and actionable.
The key things to know about asbestos training in London
Below, we have set out answers to some of the questions most asked about our London asbestos training courses, including – but not limited to – asbestos awareness training. If you have any further questions or would like to request a quote, please contact us via email or over the phone.
What makes Oracle Solutions a better choice than other London asbestos training providers?
One of the most powerful reasons to turn to us as a source of asbestos training in London, is our all-round reputation as an asbestos services provider. From asbestos surveys and asbestos air monitoring, right through to asbestos removals and waste collection, we possess all-encompassing knowhow in how to safely, legally, and responsibly manage this substance.
When this track record is combined with the insurance, licences, and accreditations that we hold from respected industry bodies such as the HSE and UKATA, you can probably begin to see why many firms in and around London don’t see the need to turn to any other asbestos training specialist.
What specific categories of asbestos training are available?
Individuals and organisations across London and South East England can trust Oracle Solutions as a source of the below types of asbestos training. To learn more about the various forms that asbestos training courses take in the UK, we suggest you peruse our complete guide.
- Category A (Cat A) asbestos awareness training: if your workers will be undertaking work that could disturb a building’s fabric, and where a risk could therefore be presented of asbestos being released, this form of training will help make them aware of the risks. This, in turn, will enable them to carry out their work in the safest possible way.
- Category B (Cat B) asbestos non-licensed removal and refresher training: if it is known that work you and/or your employees intend to carry out at a particular site will disturb low-risk ACMs, this is the type of training that will help prepare them for the dangers. The likes of roofers, maintenance workers, and demolition workers may therefore undergo such training.
- “Duty to manage” asbestos training: this form of training assists in meeting the requirements of CAR 2012, Regulation 4, which sets out a “duty to manage” asbestos in non-domestic premises. It provides the required introductory knowledge to such individuals as dutyholders, appointed persons, building owners, and managing agents.
Does it make a difference for an asbestos training provider to be CPD certified?
The short answer to this question is: yes!
We have explained how the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Certification Service works elsewhere on our website. But in summary, an asbestos training course being CPD certified means its quality has been assessed and verified by respected external observers.
If, then, you are anxious to avoid choosing an asbestos training provider that merely claims its courses are of a high standard with nothing to back this up, the “CPD Certified” graphic is a good one to look out for.
