This training program was created specifically for individuals who are engaged in construction, building inspection, maintenance and any other profession that might require contact with asbestos.

With the completion of this training, delegates will be well-prepared and ready to continue their work on a proactive, systematic task of identifying and managing asbestos problems. They will be fully aware of all the health risks related to asbestos, as well as safety requirements and best practices, which may minimise the level of exposure of employees in the enterprise.
