About the UKATA course

Asbestos kills more workers than any other construction hazard, and the danger is that it looks like ordinary building material. This Category A awareness course gives anyone who might encounter asbestos in their day-to-day work the knowledge to recognise it, avoid disturbing it and follow the right procedure if they suspect it — the level of training the Control of Asbestos Regulations requires for non-licensed work contexts.

Who this course is for

  • Refurbishment and demolition teams

UKATA questions

Does awareness allow us to remove asbestos?
No. Awareness is about avoiding disturbance and knowing when to stop work.
Is asbestos awareness a legal requirement?
Yes. The Control of Asbestos Regulations require awareness training for anyone whose work could disturb asbestos-containing materials.
Does it allow me to work with asbestos?
No. Awareness training teaches you to recognise and avoid ACMs. Removal work needs non-licensed or licensed training.
How often is refresher training needed?
Annual refresher training is the accepted standard.
