ACAD Announces Two New Asbestos Training Courses

Trade association ACAD has just announced two new asbestos training courses, in Essex, this autumn.

ACAD runs a Supervisor Refresher course on 10 September and a Manager Refresher course on 11 September at its training centre, in Benfleet, Essex.

The Supervisor Refresher course is designed for asbestos removal supervisors, who hold a current training record card and certificate and are due for annual refresher training.

The course revises the theory element of supervisor training. It will refresh candidates’ knowledge of asbestos removal supervision as well as provide updates on legislation and changes to working procedures.

Topics covered include record keeping and inspections, respiratory and personal protective equipment, hygiene and decontamination procedures, accidents, incidents and emergencies, fault finding and audit checklists and air monitoring.
