SMSTS is widely recognised across the UK construction industry for helping managers meet legal responsibilities while improving how sites actually run.
Fraudulent or misleading asbestos training certificates do still appear in the marketplace, which puts employers and workers at risk. Knowing how to identify a genuine UKATA certificate is an important part of protecting your business and staying compliant.
As a UKATA training provider, we support the industryโs efforts to raise awareness and encourage employers to take a moment to check certificates where there is any uncertainty.
With increasing HSE focus on properly fitted RPE, more organisations are looking to build their own competent face fit testers instead of outsourcing. Thatโs where the right training makes the difference.
Our Face Fit Train the Tester course gives you the knowledge and practical skills to carry out qualitative face fit testing correctly, confidently, and in line with industry guidance.
