Clearance Testing of Asbestos

 

This proficiency module course, the P404, provides theoretical and practical knowledge in the techniques of the clearance testing of asbestos and MMMF fibres. It focusses on regulations and the analyst’s role in clearance testing procedures.

We can also provide refresher courses for those who have had a break from clearance testing, or would simply like an update on current guidelines and regulations (P404R).

P404 Trainer:  Richard Pomeroy BSc (Hons)
