Our Asbestos Training Courses

At Bardon Environmental, we offer a range of UKATA-approved asbestos training courses tailored to meet the needs of different professionals, from those needing basic awareness to operatives who work with non-licensed asbestos materials. Each course is delivered by our team of highly qualified asbestos experts, including Dr Houghton, ensuring attendees receive training that is up-to-date, practical, and compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Asbestos Training Providers Code of Practice.

Our training courses include:

1. UKATA Approved Asbestos Awareness Training (Category A) This course is designed for individuals who may come across asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) during their daily work but who do not work directly with asbestos. It provides the knowledge needed to identify and manage asbestos risks safely and understand legal obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Ideal for maintenance personnel, electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople, this training gives participants the confidence to work safely around asbestos.
2. UKATA Approved Non-Licensed Asbestos Training (Category B)
   For operatives who may encounter or work directly with non-licensed asbestos materials, this course provides detailed instruction on safe handling, removal, and disposal methods. Focused on practical skills, this Category B training enables attendees to work with specific asbestos materials that do not require a license, ensuring they can safely perform their duties without compromising health and safety.
3. Management of Asbestos in Premises
   Designed for building managers, duty holders, and health and safety professionals, this course covers the responsibilities and best practices for effectively managing asbestos in buildings. Participants learn how to develop and implement an asbestos management plan, monitor the condition of ACMs, conduct risk assessments, and ensure legal compliance. This course provides the strategic and practical skills needed to maintain safe, asbestos-compliant facilities.
