When – and why – might asbestos training be necessary in Bristol or the South West?

The short answer is – the same reasons why it may be required elsewhere in the UK! Asbestos is a now-banned fibrous silicate mineral that nonetheless remains present in great numbers of commercial, public, and residential buildings up and down the country, including in South West England. This material needs to be responsibly managed to ensure both safety and adherence to the stringent asbestos regulations that now exist in the UK.

From the middle of the 19th century – when it was first commercially mined – right through to late 1999 when all forms of asbestos were finally banned in the UK, asbestos was incorporated into a broad range of products in this part of the world. These encompassed the likes of asbestos cement roof sheeting, wall cladding, asbestos insulating board (AIB), thermal insulation (lagging), asbestos rope seals, and many more.

In the event of disturbance being caused to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in Bristol or South West England buildings, these products could be susceptible to releasing extremely dangerous asbestos fibres. Any subsequent inhalation or ingestion of these barely-visible particles can elevate the exposed individual’s risk of developing a potentially fatal asbestos-related health condition – such as asbestosis or mesothelioma – in later life.

This severe risk – combined with the training requirements laid out under Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) – should leave you in no doubt about the importance of the right asbestos training in the South West, in situations where someone is liable to disturb this mineral during their work.

What makes Oracle Solutions the best choice of Bristol asbestos training provider?

You might initially think to yourself that as long as you invest in the suitable type of asbestos training course for your needs (we’ll elaborate on that subject below), the particular company you choose to deliver it won’t necessarily be overly important.

However, this is simply not the case. Choose Oracle Solutions as your provider of asbestos courses, for example, and you will benefit from the following:

• Your asbestos training being provided by a UKATA Professional Member
• All our UKATA training being HSE-approved and CPD certified
• The option to receive the training face-to-face or online
• All the legally required content being delivered
• The learner receiving an HSE-recognised certificate once they complete their course

The specific way in which asbestos courses are delivered can make a big difference to many organisations and individuals in the South West.

Here at Oracle Solutions, we have a stunning bespoke training centre located near our Kettering office. But given what a major journey this would represent for many of our clients, we are also pleased to come to them to provide the training if required.

As for our online asbestos training courses, these are delivered live. You can find out more about our latest live asbestos course dates and availability information by visiting the relevant section of our website or calling us on 0844 243 5732.

We also simply have to mention the sheer enthusiasm of our trainers for what they do. They are skilled in delivering asbestos training in engaging, informative, and memorable ways. In the process, our trainers demonstrate that asbestos is an important and relatable subject, rather than a “dull” or “dry” one.
