UKATA CAT-B: Working with Non-Licensed Asbestos
Designed to meet the HSE requirements for Category B Asbestos Training.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 prevents anyone from removing asbestos containing materials (ACMs) unless they have received the correct training which details how such work should be undertaken.
Non licensed asbestos removal training is particularly useful for people involved in housing maintenance, refurbishments and demolitions. Instead of having to sub-contract non licensed asbestos removal work to specialist asbestos removal companies, you will be able to undertake the work in-house.
Training takes 1 full day and includes practical aspects. Upon completion of the course, a certificate valid from UKATA will be issued for a period of 12 months, in line with HSE guidance.
Our Working with Non-Licensed Asbestos course meets the UKATA Specification for its updated 2014 syllabus. This includes a more in-depth practical element to the training, which ensures that anyone taking the course gets a more in-depth knowledge of working with asbestos and asbestos removal.
Our Non Licensed Asbestos Removal training covers the following topics:
Theory Modules

- Legislation and codes of practice
