Course Overview
Asbestos surveys are an essential part of an organisation’s asbestos management ‘toolkit’. The aim of this session is to improve knowledge and awareness of the contents of an asbestos survey, the caveats that may be included and what you should do now that you have the information.
As part of the training, delegates will review a typical example of an asbestos survey (they can also bring their own along to the training) to understand the contents including how to identify key requirements, review asbestos sample findings and any drawings, discuss material and priority scores and identify what next steps are required to manage any asbestos that has been identified.
This course will be held ‘Live Online’ on 21st October 2026, from 9:30am – 12:00pm (times are estimates and will depend on the interaction of delegates throughout).
