Course Introduction:
Since April 2012 it is possible to carry out certain asbestos works without a licence. Between non-licenced and licenced asbestos work lies notifiable non-licenced work (NNLW) which comes with additional requirements attached.
The IATP Category B: Non-Licenced Works course is intended for students who may need to carry out non-licenced and notifiable non-licenced asbestos removal. The training delivers the knowledge needed for removing asbestos safely, providing the know-how to implement the necessary controls required to complete the work.
