What qualification or training is required to be able to take asbestos samples?
As this task disturbs the fabric of asbestos-containing materials, a UKATA non-licensed work with asbestos course would be sufficient. However, it would need an extra module added for the sample taking, such as bagging samples, control measures, etc.
Alternatively, a bespoke one-day sampling course that covers the specifics of sampling for asbestos-containing materials, could be arranged with a UKATA training provider.
