A range of asbestos seminars are being held across the UK between May and July 2011 for the purpose of instilling industry minimum standards and best practice.
This year's series of seminars are client focused with an aim to educate and instil industry minimum standards and best practice for clients, managers and directors who are directly and indirectly involved with asbestos management.
The seminars will provide a recent review of changes to asbestos management, current asbestos industry standards which should be employed by clients and also there is ample opportunity to answer any questions that are of concern to you.
The aim is for delegates to leave the seminars empowered with up to date knowledge which will help them understand fully the legal obligations they are under but also with the tools on how to manage their asbestos in the most efficient, cost effective and health and safety conscious manner especially during times of austerity.
The events have been arranged by ATAC (Asbestos Testing And Consulting association) and also the BOHS (British Occupational Hygiene Society). Full details of the events or for further asbestos information can be found at atac.org.uk or delegates can book directly at bohs.org/asbestos2011.
Ian Stone Association Manager of ATAC commented "We are really looking forward to this years round of seminars which follow on from the survey guide seminars which we organised last year. I have changed the format of the seminars with a view to educate rather than just inform delegates with information, I have also included more Q&A sessions with an open forum at the end of all the sessions where delegates can network and discuss any issues they have with the speakers"
The seminars are open to anyone and there are special rates for various organisation members (ATAC, BOHS, IOSH, APS, BIFM, ARCA, SCI) at £100 + VAT.
The Non Members price is £130 + VAT, however discounts will still be offered on group bookings
