Please advise.
Shop fitting personnel took Asbestos Awareness training last December (2014) with an expiry date December 2015.
I have been asked if they all need to attend a further training day or is there an alternative to them attending such a course again.
Thanks

Refresher asbestos awareness training
269 There is no need for employees who receive training for licensable or non-licensable
work to do asbestos awareness refresher training.
270 Awareness training is only intended to help employees avoid carrying out work
that will disturb asbestos. There is no legal requirement to repeat a formal refresher
awareness training course every 12 months. However some form of refresher
awareness should be given, as necessary, to help prevent those workers listed in
paragraph 233 putting themselves or others at risk in the course of their work.
271 Refresher awareness could be given as e-learning or as part of other health
and safety updates, rather than through a formal training course. For example, an
employer, manager or supervisor who has attended an awareness course and is
competent to do so, as defined in paragraph 258, could deliver an update or safety
talk to employees in house.
272 A realistic, common sense approach to refreshing knowledge and skills, based
on judgement of individual abilities and training needs, is all that is usually required.

I conduct refresher AAT when requested. Instead of the full training/presentation I issue a 2sided leaflet which we read through, they sit the same 12 question test and we make sure they have an FFP3 mask and baby wipes, and I issue a 'cert' with the date.

Sounds good John but as you say "by request". Seems like it is not required although a once yearly Tool Box Talk may be necessary.

Yes well as a consultant I can only do the refresher if they ask me to do it 😀

It makes great sense until you work for a client who requires UKATA.

Grrrrrrrrrr.....UKATA!!!!!!
The marketing person at UKATA deserves a medal in how he/she has got the company name to be perceived as being in the actual Asbestos Regulations themselves!!
