Training

At Pure Check we offer site based asbestos awareness training. Our speciality is making asbestos surveys more accessible by clearly communicating to staff the locations of asbestos in your buildings and the associated risks relating to their work.

We also offer general asbestos awareness training.

Information, instruction and training for asbestos awareness is intended to give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid disturbing asbestos. It will not prepare workers, or self-employed contractors, to carry out work with asbestos-containing materials, however, it will give them the information and training they need to stay safe. If a worker is planning to carry out work that will disturb ACMs, further information, instruction and training will be needed.
