UKATA Asbestos Awareness Training
Welcome to Our UKATA Asbestos Training Microsite
If you are looking for a company who offers UKATA Asbestos Awareness training courses you have come to the right place. Asbestos is recognised as one of the biggest killers in the UK, and everyone responsible for either a building/premises or for site health and safety needs to ensure that their staff and contractors meet the legal requirements for asbestos awareness training.
For the purpose of clarification, it is a legal requirement that all who may come across asbestos in their day to day work have been provided with asbestos awareness training.
Any organisation that allows builders or maintenance personnel onto their premises should ensure that they have evidence of appropriate training.
UKATA (United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association) provides a quality standard for that training in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 and HSE guidance. SMTS Ltd's category-3 course is UKATA recognised.
