Asbestos Awareness Courses
UKATA Certified | Online & In-Person | Nationwide & Onsite Delivery
Total Compliance offers UKATA-certified asbestos awareness courses for workers who may encounter asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos remains a major occupational health risk, making training essential for reducing exposure and protecting lives.
Under The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), employers must ensure workers likely to disturb asbestos receive appropriate training. Our courses help meet this duty by improving awareness, site safety, and compliance.
Each course includes a UKATA certificate valid for 12 months and suits a wide range of construction and groundworking professionals. Flexible delivery is available online, in person, or onsite nationwide.
We also offer exclusive online training courses for teams preferring flexible, remote learning.
