Of particular note this training is an absolute requirement for anyone employed on projects where it is foreseeable that disturbing the soils and ground on-site will be or potentially be exposing workers to ACMs (asbestos containing materials). Of particular concern are any projects that:

  •  Other – any situation where it is foreseeable that work will disturb the soils and ground on site and expose individuals to ACMs that may be present within the soils on site

The 1 day (6 hour) course can accommodate up to 15 delegates per day.
