Towcester company to provide free asbestos training

Midlands companies looking for help in dealing with threats from asbestos will be given training – for free. ClearView Safety, part of the Towcester based 4See Group, is offering companies completely free sessions to help a national drive to improve the UK’s awareness of the issues of managing and working in premises containing asbestos.

ClearView Safety will be running two half-day courses at their headquarters at Pury Hill Business Park. Companies interested can register now, with the courses taking place on 18 October. Discounts on further training are being offered to those who book a free place or respond to emails.

Backed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association (UKATA), there will be a total of 30 places available on a first come, first served basis.

ClearView Safety believes the courses will appeal to a wide variety of interests, including construction workers, caretakers and property managers.

Jon Hughes, Commercial Manager of ClearView Safety, said: “This is a very worthwhile scheme by the HSE and UKATA to help improve knowledge of what has been dubbed the ‘silent killer’. Training providers have pledged to offer training for free with the hope that more than 4000 hours of training and 1000 courses will be offered around the UK.

“We at ClearView Safety are delighted to play our part in this. It is not often that businesses are offered something for nothing but we believe these courses will offer people important information to improve safety when working in premises that may contain asbestos.”
