Asbestos Training — Category A, B & C Courses Delivered by Industry Experts

Asbestos kills. And in the vast majority of cases, the people it kills were simply not given the knowledge, awareness, or training they needed to protect themselves. Under Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), every employer has a clear and non-negotiable legal duty to ensure that any employee who is – or is liable to be – exposed to asbestos receives adequate information, instruction, and training before they set foot in an at-risk environment.

This is not optional. It is not a box-ticking exercise. It is a legal requirement that directly protects the lives of your employees, your contractors, and everyone who works in or around your buildings. At Scopus, we take that responsibility as seriously as you should – and we are here to make sure your team has the knowledge and certification they need to stay safe and compliant.

Your Legal Duty – Regulation 10 of CAR 2012

Regulation 10 requires every employer to ensure that employees who are exposed – or liable to be exposed – to asbestos are fully trained and informed across all of the following critical areas:

  • The properties of asbestos and its effects on health, including its well-documented interaction with smoking
  • The types of products and materials likely to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
  • The operations and activities that could result in asbestos exposure, and the importance of preventive controls to minimise that risk
  • Safe working practices, control measures, and the correct use of protective equipment
  • The purpose, selection, limitations, proper use, and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment (RPE)
  • Emergency procedures in the event of an asbestos disturbance or incident
  • Hygiene requirements and decontamination procedures
  • Asbestos waste handling and licensed disposal procedures
  • Medical examination requirements for those working with asbestos
  • The control limit for airborne asbestos fibres and the requirement for ongoing air monitoring

Failure to provide adequate training under Regulation 10 is a criminal offence – and in the event of an asbestos-related incident, the consequences for an untrained workforce can be catastrophic and irreversible. The time to act is now, before an incident occurs – and Scopus is here to help you fulfil your duty with confidence.

Regulation 10 is not optional – and neither is the quality of the training you provide. When meeting your legal duty of care matters most, trust Scopus to arrange the right asbestos training for your team, at the right level, delivered by independently audited experts.
