Bring your compliance needs to Life
We offer a range of UKATA and CPD-certified asbestos training courses designed to meet the needs of different roles, responsibilities, and risk levels, from operatives who may encounter asbestos incidentally to those responsible for managing it across a property portfolio.
Designed for anyone who may encounter asbestos-containing materials during their day-to-day work activities, this UKATA-approved course provides essential knowledge of where asbestos is found, the health risks it presents, and how to avoid accidental disturbance. A legal requirement for a wide range of trades and building maintenance roles.
For those undertaking lower-risk asbestos work that does not require a licence, this course covers safe working methods, the use of appropriate controls, and the legal obligations that apply to non-licensed and notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW). Practical and directly relevant to real working conditions.
Specifically designed for those responsible for managing asbestos in non-domestic premises, this course supports duty holders in understanding their legal obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, covering asbestos management plans, risk assessments, and the arrangements required to maintain ongoing compliance.
Where standard courses do not fully meet your organisational needs, we develop and deliver bespoke asbestos training tailored to your buildings, staff roles, management systems, and operational risks. Ideal for organisations with specific compliance requirements or those looking to embed asbestos awareness across a wider workforce.
Asbestos remains the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the UK. For any organisation where employees may encounter asbestos-containing materials, whether in maintenance, construction, facilities management, or property, appropriate asbestos training is not optional. It is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and a fundamental duty of care to your workforce.
At Life Environmental, our asbestos training courses go far beyond ticking a compliance box. Every course is delivered by trainers who combine recognised teaching qualifications with genuine, hands-on experience in asbestos consultancy, surveying, and analytical work. That means your delegates are not learning from a textbook; they are learning from practitioners who understand the real risks, the common mistakes, and the practical steps that keep people safe.
We work with commercial organisations, social housing providers, local authorities, contractors, and industrial operators across the UK. Whether you need a single asbestos awareness session for a small maintenance team or a structured training programme for hundreds of staff across multiple sites, we have the capacity, the accreditation, and the expertise to deliver it properly.
Know Your Obligations
If any of your employees carry out work in buildings that may contain asbestos, including electricians, plumbers, joiners, decorators, or general maintenance operatives, they are legally required to have completed asbestos awareness training before undertaking those activities.
Duty holders, those responsible for the maintenance or repair of non-domestic premises, have a legal obligation to manage asbestos and ensure that anyone who may disturb it is properly informed and trained. Our Duty to Manage course is designed specifically for this role.
Asbestos awareness training should be refreshed regularly to remain valid. If your organisation cannot demonstrate up-to-date, documented training for relevant staff, you may be exposed to regulatory enforcement action in the event of an incident or inspection.
New starters and contractors working in buildings where asbestos may be present must receive appropriate training before they begin work. Our open courses and flexible delivery options make it straightforward to get individuals trained quickly and correctly.

Liaising with residents from all backgrounds requires sensitivity and expert communication, and careful planning is essential to ensure minimal disruption in tenants’ homes. In social housing, landlords are responsible for large volumes of property where budgets are tight, so cost control and certainty are key. Works carried out under the Decent Homes programme, such as kitchen and bathroom replacements, demand clear communication and planning between the client, contractor, and tenant, while the fact that work often takes place in the homes of vulnerable people makes pre-booking and precise scheduling vital.
