UKATA: Non Licensable Work with Asbestos including NNLW

COURSE INTRODUCTION

Since April 2012 it is possible to carry out certain asbestos works without a licence. Between non-licenced and licenced asbestos work lies notifiable non licenced work (NNLW) which comes with additional requirements attached.

Non-Licenced Works training is intended for students who may need to carry out non-licenced and notifiable non-licenced asbestos removal. The training delivers the knowledge needed for removing asbestos safely, providing the knowhow to implement the necessary controls required to complete the work.

COURSE PRE-REQUISITES

All students wishing to complete this course must hold a valid UKATA Asbestos Awareness Certificate. This certificate must be issued within 6 months of commencing your non-licensed works training.

If you do not hold a valid UKATA Asbestos Awareness Certificate or it will be older than 6 months at the time in which you are able to attend a UKATA Non-Licensed course we can help....

You can complete the qualification online in advance, or attend a half day course at one of Alpha's training centres.

COURSE BENEFITS

Whether you are a general maintenance worker, plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter, shop fitter or general construction operative; wherever asbestos may be disturbed asbestos awareness training is an absolute requirement.

Anybody who already carries out non-licenced work can also use this course as an annual refresher.
