Is asbestos training a legal responsibility?
The current Regulations place a legal duty on employers to provide information, instruction and training to any of their employees who are likely to be exposed to asbestos as part of their work.
The three main types of information, instruction and training are:
asbestos awareness training
training for non-licensable asbestos work – ie the type of work described in HSE's [Asbestos essentials](http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/essentials/index.htm)
training for licensable asbestos work
