An Asbestos Story

Asbestos sufferers Liz and Dave speak candidly on camera...Taken from Shout Out Safety's Asbestos Awareness course - shoutoutsafety...
Our Asbestos Awareness (Category A) training course covers the dangers of asbestos containing materials (ACMs). It draws on many year’s experience of in-house management, surveying and removal. Including interviews with victims and medical experts, the course provides you with a comprehensive overview of this major threat to public health. This Asbestos Awareness course will aim to protect you and everyone around you.
The course complies with Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and L143 Code of Practice - ‘Managing and Working with Asbestos’.
No-one benefits if the trainee isn’t concentrating. Shout Out Safety courses are entertaining exactly because we’re serious about Health & Safety training. Learning is easier when people are engaged (and they engage much more when they’re entertained).
Who is the course for?
Anyone who may come into contact with Asbestos, or those managing personnel who may do so.
Including: Electricians, Painter & Decorators, Carpenters, Construction Workers, Plumbers, Plasterers, Gas Fitters, Joiners, Roofers, Demolition Workers, Shop Fitters, General Maintenance Workers, Telecommunication Engineers, HVAC Engineers, Surveyors, Alarm installers, IT installers, Architects, Caretakers.
