Managing asbestos record keeping (including mask usage)

Many clients are still not aware of their duties to keep records of exposure of their operatives to asbestos products. This has been a requirement since April 2012 so C&D have introduced a short 2 hour course on the requirements and how to comply.

The course is designed for managers, supervisors and directors to receive training at a time and place to suit them, be it first thing or last thing in the day, and at a price that is competitive.
