NL03 - Non-Licensed Asbestos for Waste and Civic Amenity Site Personnel

This syllabus sets out the guidance issued by UKATA for the provision of non-licensed asbestos for waste and civic amenity site personnel training for employees whose work will involve asbestos waste materials and will likely disturb asbestos containing materials (ACMs), and which is defined as non-licensable work or notifiable non-licensable work within the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This is also further stated in the guidance document HSG210 – Asbestos Essentials.

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.
