Asbestos Training

Asbestos Awareness Training

Industrial Training Services LtdCan provide training courses to suit your needs. Our training courses are designed to complement the HSE’s recommended asbestos training requirements and focuses heavily on how, in real terms, you protect your workforce and others from the effects of asbestosis's and other related diseases.

We provide asbestos training to new and existing personnel within the asbestos industry as well as for those persons whose day to day work brings them into contact with asbestos containing materials. The latter group of these now have a legal responsibility under the control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 to undergo asbestos awareness training.

Asbestos awareness training and the Removal (non-licensed) Asbestos training can be held either at your premises or at our purpose built training centre. Following completion of the course, delegates will be issued with a certificate valid for 12 months in line with HSE guidelines for asbestos training.

Asbestos Training Courses

Asbestos awareness training is essential for employees whose work has the potential to expose them to asbestos. Regulation 10 of the control of asbestos regulations 2006 puts a requirement on employers to ensure that their staffs have undergone suitable asbestos awareness training. Following training they will be aware of the potential dangers they may face and also the procedures they must follow, when they are working in the vicinity of asbestos containing materials.

Frequently asked questionsWhat is asbestos?

It is a collective name for a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals.

Why is it dangerous?

The fibres which make up the mineral are dangerous when breathed in. The fibres can be lodged in the lungs
and the body's normal defences cannot break them down. Once lodged these fibres can cause scarring to the lung tissue and after a number of years it is possible for this scarring to develop into one or more serious conditions, some of which are fatal.

Can I work with Asbestos?

NO. Unless you have had the correct Asbestos training, in guidance and equipment, you should not carry out any work which is likely to disturb asbestos materials. If by your actions you expose anyone to asbestos fibres you and your employer are liable to prosecution resulting in a heavy fine and possible imprisonment.

What should I do if I find Asbestos?

Asbestos is only dangerous to your health when the fibres are breathed in. This can only happen if the fibres are airborne. The fibres are contained within the matrix of material. If the material is not disturbed then the fibres should not be released, so avoid disturbing asbestos containing materials at all costs.

Examples

Some examples of the type of materials to be removed with this training;

Asbestos cement (Corrugated Sheets, Soffits, Down Pipes, Cladding) etc.

CPCS TRAINING

CPCS Training

CPCS Training and Testing

The CPCS training and Testing requires a degree in gobbledygook to get through the various complexities in understanding the CPCS Training requirements for the acquisition of getting a RED or BLUE CPCS Competency card.

Enough said. Let us at ITS assist you through the jargon to enable you to obtain your CPCS Card.

Why CPCS?

Because this is the Plant Competency card which all Major Contractors are now requesting from all Plant operators working on their sites.

Main Hurdles to get to your BLUE CPCS Card.

• Health and Safety Test.

• Theory Test.

• Practical Test.

• National Vocational Qualification (NVQ)

All above as detailed below

NOT EXPERIENCED

You will need us to take you through your basic CPCS training as a novice, place you on a theory test and book you onto the practical test. If you are successful in both elements of the CPCS Training you will get a RED CPCS card.

After a period of practical experience we will provide for you the necessary documentation to start on your NVQ. Once the NVQ has been completed you can then apply for a BLUE CPCS Card.

EXPERIENCED OPERATOR

As an experienced operator but you do not hold a BLUE CPCS card you will need to take and pass both the theory and practical Tests, and obtain your NVQ. CPCS will then send you a Blue card and a CPCS Log Book.

HEALTH & SAFETY TESTING

We would recommend that before you take the test you complete a 1 day H&S CPCS training day. This will provide you with a sound knowledge base to enable you to pass the H&S test.

You can use the online booking services by logging onto www.citb-construction skills.co.uk/htest or by calling 0870 600 4020 or we can provide this service for you.

YOU MUST COMPLETE AND PASS THE TOUCH SCREEN TEST BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE THE CPCS THEORY TEST.

CPCS THEORY TEST

Due to the nature of the questions contained within the theory test ITS recommend that all candidates book onto a CPCS Training theory day. The CPCS training will take the student through the various components of the test paper to ensure they have the best opportunity in passing the test.

The course handout not only provides you with the questions, but embedded into the content are all the answers.

Theory test (Blue Card Renewal)

For those operatives who are applying to renew their Blue CPCS Card they will need to provide an up-to-date log book. If this is not possible they will need to book an on site assessment prior to taking the theory test.

ALL THEORY TESTS ARE RECORDED ONTO A VOICE RECORDER.

PRACTICAL TEST

Most plant testing must be completed at a CPCS Test Centre and the test duration varies from 45minutes to 3½ hrs. There are some exemptions which are tested on site.

These tests are conducted under strict guidelines set out by CPCS and regular CPCS Monitor visits are made to CPCS test centres to ensure they are complying with the rules.

NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

In order for you to move from a trained operator (RED CARD) through to a competent operator (BLUE CARD) you will need to provide evidence of your practical abilities and working knowledge of the industry you are in. Your practical abilities should be relatively easy to assess and the assessor could complete in 1 visit, but you will be required to provide additional tangible evidence in your knowledge of site procedures, security, company procedures etc.
