AACS gains UKATA accreditation
Aspect Contracts has announced that its pioneering asbestos awareness training initiative, the Asbestos Aware Contractors Scheme (AACS) has been formally accredited by UKATA (United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association).
UKATA has been created to build on the previous work of the Asbestos Training Providers’ Working Group. It works with the HSE to establish best practice in all aspects of the delivery of asbestos training, including licensed, non-licensed and asbestos awareness training.
Commenting on the accreditation, AACS lead trainer Thom Jarman commented: “We’re delighted to be recognised by UKATA and we’re keen to support a trade association that’s bringing standards and quality marks to what is an essential educational area. Together we hope to encourage greater awareness and understanding by employers of their legal obligations in relation to asbestos training and to deliver the appropriate courses to secure higher levels of safe site working.”
