Operative Training Courses

Operative training.

New entrants into the industry or those who have been away from it for some time will require 'New Operative' training.

This is a minimum 3 day course and in accordance with the Approved Code of Practice (L143) and The Licensed Contractor's Guide (HSG247), it covers the following elements:

• What is asbestos? How has it been used in premises;
• The health effects of exposure to asbestos;
• Legislation;
• Enclosure construction;
• Controlled stripping techniques;
• Respiratory Protective Equipment;
• Personal Protective Equipment and clothing;
• Transit procedures and decontamination;
• Cleaning and clearance air testing;
• Plant and equipment (demonstration);
• Waste management and disposal;
• Emergency procedures;
• Non-asbestos hazards;
• Fault finding;
• Roles and responsibilities;
• Site inspections and record keeping;
• Management systems and monitoring;
• Risk assessments and Plans of Work.

The course is designed to be run with both classroom and practical sessions. AT&C Ltd are proud that the focus is on delivering training in those practical skills needed for an Operative to work on site. There is a heavy emphasis on practical and although written tests are undertaken, it is the application of the knowledge that drives this UKATA approved and registered course.

A major section of the course centers on decontamination procedures, and all delegates must undertake full decontamination which involves removal of all clothing, and showering in a mobile decontamination unit (DCU).

All successful delegates receive certificates and site cards issued via the UKATA database. The certificate is valid for one year.
