Asbestos Awareness
Training...
... is more than just a mandatory requirement*, it is a moral obligation to ensure that workers are not exposed to a known killer, a category one carcinogen that is still prevalent within millions of premises throughout the UK.
​
Here at 1974 Rapport Ltd we take our role VERY seriously indeed when it comes to educating and informing workers about Asbestos Containing Materials!
If you think that Asbestos is just a tick box exercise, you’d be sorely mistaken; there are over 5,500 UK deaths attributed to asbestos exposure every year in the UK alone. This is simply not acceptable and training, awareness and education is one of the ways that we can combat this.
​
*The HSE Control of Asbestos Regulations (regulation 10) states that anyone who could foreseeably encounters Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) as part of their work activities MUST receive awareness training. The HSE goes further and specifically stipulates what information, instruction and training must be provided. Our Asbestos Awareness course not only meets these requirements but exceeds them! We think our Asbestos training is soooooooooo good because….
