The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 prevents anyone from removing Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM’s) unless they have received the correct training which details how such work should be undertaken.

OHS have prepared a customised course that enables people to safely remove non-licensable ACM’s. It is designed as an extension to our Asbestos Awareness Training which is a mandatory requirement for anyone likely to be exposed to Asbestos. This is particularly useful for people involved in Housing Maintenance, Refurbishments & Demolitions. Instead of having to sub-contract asbestos removal work to specialist asbestos removal companies, you will be able to undertake certain removal jobs in-house saving you money and time.
