Training

Helix takes a different approach to training and offers a range of asbestos courses

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, Regulation 10, every employer must ensure their employees have the skills and knowledge to safely deal with asbestos in their day-to-day activities. Helix courses cover all aspects of this CAR2012 compliance model.

All Helix courses have a modern and engaging approach while ensuring our delegates – whether employers, employees, contractors or tradesmen – are well-informed and confident in understanding and delivering against their requirements and responsibilities. 

Helix can provide courses specifically tailored to meet your needs

Courses can be held at our training centre or at a suitable location of your choice. While all courses are of one-day duration, Helix offers on-site and virtual training to suit your schedule and has the flexibility to accommodate a variety of days and start times.

We deliver courses differently to the rest of the industry

We do not deliver a “death by PowerPoint” tick boxing exercise but instead create bespoke, multi-platformed courses that provide real-world application and confidence to all delegates.

All Helix courses are led by Gareth Harrison. Gareth is an experienced trainer having delivered hundreds of courses. And as the MD of Helix, he is still very much involved with asbestos removal through surveying and consultancy. This ensures that the courses are created and delivered with real-world understanding and insight.

 

Our Courses

Asbestos Awareness

This course provides delegates with basic knowledge of the dangers of asbestos, where it can be found within buildings, how it affects health and CAR2012. The course is designed for anyone who is likely to come into contact with asbestos and anyone working within a room/ building where there is a likelihood they could potentially disturb asbestos.

Non-licensable works with asbestos (INCLUDING NOTIFIABLE NON-LICENSED WORKS)​

All low-risk asbestos materials require a non-licensed training certificate. This course includes a morning theory session (including a refresher of awareness training if required) and an afternoon practical session covering all works with non-licensed materials, the equipment/ methods, bagging up, decontamination and any additional and bespoke elements that delegates require.

Duty to Manage

The course is aimed at those who manage non-domestic premises and have a duty to look after the health, safety and wellbeing of everyone on site. It provides a basic overview of the legislative requirements of CAR2012 with particular reference to the Duty Holder. This course is an extension to the awareness course and provides the Duty Holder the tools to manage their site safely.

Refreshers

All asbestos training requires an annual refresher. This course is therefore a diluted version of the course briefly covering and overview of all aspects covered in the full course.
