SMG01 - Asbestos in Soil and Made Ground (Overview)

Introduction

This syllabus sets out the guidance issued by UKATA for the provision of asbestos in soil and made ground (overview) training for employees whose work could foreseeably expose them to asbestos, as defined within the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). In particular, people employed on projects to redevelop brownfield sites and or sites that have previously been occupied by industrial buildings that have been demolished, where it is foreseeable that their work will disturb the soils and ground on site and may expose them to ACMs that may be present within the soils on site.

This document provides the syllabus for the training along with guidance on the minimum content of all courses. Tutors can offer bespoke or tailored training for the remainder of any training session, but the core content must be adhered to.

Occupational Relevance

If the Asbestos Awareness certification has expired beyond this six-month window, learners must undertake a new UKATA Asbestos Awareness course.
