Stephen Metcalfe, local MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, paid a visit to the Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installers (iKKBI) to learn more about their new lifesaving asbestos awareness training initiative.
Working with the Hertfordshire based training provider Asbestos
Training Limited, the iKBBI have commissioned a bespoke online course
specifically aimed at installers of kitchens & bathrooms. The course been
uniquely tailored to KBB installers and will result in an industry recognised
qualification from UKATA (United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association) and the
certification of Asbestos Awareness training.
Speaking on behalf of the training provider Asbestos Training
Limited, Jacqui Royall, Training Manager said: “Our online Asbestos Awareness
course is incredibly straight forward and has already been used by tens of
thousands of people in the work place from the self employed worker through to
very large organisations to ensure that they are fully aware of the risks as
well as being compliant with current regulations”.
Local MP and iKBBI Patron Stephen Metcalfe MP commented on the
initiative: “Asbestos awareness is clearly an important subject, as is the
health and wellbeing of tradespeople and their customers. The iKBBI has worked
hard with the training provider to deliver a simple, yet highly effective
solution that is relevant to the institute’s industry – a UK first I believe”.
