RSPH Level 3 Award in Air Monitoring and Clearance Procedures

This RSPH asbestos air monitoring and clearance procedures qualification is approved by the qualifications regulator, Ofqual.

RSPH Level 3 Award in Air Monitoring

This Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) qualification has been designed to provide the theory and practical knowledge and skills required for use of microscopes and fibre counting to WHO rules, air sampling and 4-stage clearance procedures.

ATaC covers all decontamination procedures and always has an actual DCU available so candidates can familiarise themselves with the unit. All candidates undertake FULL DECONTAMINATION, including showering.

It has been developed around HSG248 Asbestos: The Analysts Guide (Edition 2) for sampling, analysis and clearance procedures.

UKAS document LAB 30 ‘Application of ISO/IEC 17025 for Asbestos Sampling and Testing’, states that all asbestos analysts carrying out air monitoring and 4 stage clearances must hold formal recognised qualifications (in addition to demonstrable knowledge, experience and in-house training). This qualification is recognised by UKAS for this purpose.

Our tutors have extensive industry knowledge and experience in delivering this qualification. Candidates can take this qualification at an Asbestos Testing and Consultancy Association venue across the country and throughout the year.
