About course

A licensed asbestos removal operative safely takes asbestos out of buildings for companies licensed by the HSE. It is a job where small mistakes can be deadly. If your mask doesn’t fit or you rush the clean-up, asbestos dust can go home with you, causing illness that may not show for years. Our CPD-accredited licensed asbestos removal course helps you understand the job, so you can avoid these mistakes from day one.

This asbestos operative course is for people new to licensed asbestos work. It also suits operatives refreshing their knowledge and building workers moving into the industry. Here in this course, you start with the basics, Such as where asbestos is found in UK buildings, which materials release dust most easily, and what the law expects from you.

Next, you learn how every job is planned, from the risk assessment and plan of work to the checks made before work starts. You then find out how your mask, protective clothing and decontamination routine stop asbestos dust from leaving the site with you.
