FaceFit Train the Trainer Course

Course Detail

This course will ensure that you have the knowledge that you need to ensure workplace safety in environments where there’s a risk of exposure to a wide range of hazardous materials.

Fitted Face Protection is only effective when it fits correctly, if there is any break in the seal of a tight-fitting face piece there is the risk of exposure and to workers’ health. In order to meet the legal obligations under the current COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations, it’s vital to ensure that all face pieces are fitted and worn correctly.

Our Face Fit Training can complement our Asbestos Awareness Training as it’s required under both the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 ACoP L143 (paragraph 196) and the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 ACoP L132 (paragraph 133). PUWER Regulations and COSHH Regulations
