UKATA Syllabus
To maintain high industry standards of asbestos training, we follow the UKATA Syllabi for our online learning asbestos awareness courses. All of the relevant multiple-choice assessments are approved by training providers, IATP and RoSPA. There are four main categories, and each has subcategories that provide different pieces of information.
Asbestos Awareness Course
(Formally known as Category A)
Category A or Asbestos has three subheadings:
Waste Management & Civic Amenity Site Operatives & managers
The primary purpose of this section is to assist you in meeting and accessing any legal obligations when taking on work at Waste Management and Civic Amenity sites where different kinds of asbestos are received. It also provides asbestos awareness of the types, conditions and visual images of asbestos products that may arrive on sites.
It will also allow for those involved to become more aware of the effects of asbestos and the dangers that come with it.
Asbestos Awareness For Groundworkers:
We adapt several courses and tests to suit different scenarios and employees. Asbestos Awareness online training specifically for Groundworkers is a course with a design more catered towards the health and safety needs of those that work on the ground or a ground level.
The approved online courses primarily focus on the risks of exposure to asbestos-related produce, specifically when your field or position involves working on brownfield sites, particularly contaminated ground and man-made ground.
Asbestos Awareness
Formerly known as Category A: The primary purpose of this section is to provide those who will come into contact with asbestos and give them the proper training and knowledge of what asbestos is.
It also allows for those involved to become more aware of the properties of asbestos, the effects asbestos has on your health, types of asbestos, and the procedures one must follow in an emergency and how to avoid risks from ACM's.
Asbestos Awareness Training
Awareness of asbestos is crucial for health and safety, especially if you are working with asbestos on a building built or refurbished before 2000. According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone exposed to asbestos or anyone who might disturb asbestos during their work must take asbestos awareness training courses. Please note, many courses we provide take only minutes to complete.;
The Asbestos Awareness online course is for you to have a general awareness and refresher on asbestos. Anyone is available to use this service and e-learning course, including health and safety executives, those in charge of building upkeep or overall management. This asbestos awareness course meets the UK asbestos training and awareness requirements of the relevant regulations that include The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Non-Licensable Works (NNLW)
(Formally known as Category B)
Category B or Non-licensable works (NNLW) has three subheadings:
Non-licensable Work with Asbestos including NNLW
Non-licensable work provides the delegate with the theoretical and practical skills necessary to undertake non-licensed work with ACM's. Give Astec Consultants Ltd a call if you have any questions or enquiries, our team is always happy to help.
Non-Licensable Work with Asbestos for Groundworkers
Those employees or staff members that are expected to undertake groundwork or work in-ground require this kind of awareness and training. Give Astec Consultants Ltd a call if you have any questions or enquiries, our team is always happy to help.
Non-Licensable Work with Asbestos for Waste Management & Civic Amenities Site Operatives & Managers
There are several examples of Non-licensable work with asbestos for civic amenities site operatives, managers and waste management. Give Astec Consultants Ltd a call if you have any questions or enquiries, our team is always happy to help.
Examples of Non-licensable Work
Suppose the work involves some large scale removal of decorative or textured coatings. Especially if the methods used are steaming or gelling processes that go beyond what is typically required of maintenance activities such as the replacement or installation of smoke alarms and fittings.
Suppose the work involves asbestos removal, insulating boards during refurbishment projects. Another example involves access to any asbestos insulation, repairing any slight damage to small sections of pipes where an exterior coating is damaged or broken.
The asbestos removal of cement products with severely damaged asbestos-containing materials ACMs due to a flood or fire damage. Asbestos cardboard or paper products, but only if they are not securely bonded in a matrix.

Non-Licensable Work with Asbestos for Waste Management & Civic Amenities Site Operatives & Managers
There are several examples of Non-licensable work with asbestos for civic amenities site operatives, managers and waste management.
If it is a removal task where ACM's are in somewhat reasonable condition. If they are not deliberately broken and asbestos fibre is kept to a minimum within a matrix. Doing so means asbestos is covered, coated or contained within the bounds of another material like cement, plastic or paint.
If the ACMs are in a pretty good condition, unsealed or encapsulated to ensure they can no longer be easily damaged.
On the other hand, it may also be an air monitoring or control task that checks fibre concentration settling in the air. Further, analyse done after a collection confirms the presence of asbestos in the material.
UKATA registered
UKATA is one of the leading authorities on asbestos training and courses. UKATA was established in 2008 as a not-for-profit association, and many recognise it as one of the most eminent, accessible asbestos and asbestos awareness training associations.
