The Control of Asbestos Regulations imposes duties relating to air testing and the cleanliness of asbestos enclosures and work areas.

- Unit Two: Theory of air sampling, fibre counting and clearance procedures for asbestos analysts/ project managers
- Unit Three: Practical air sampling, fibre counting and clearance procedures for asbestos analysts
- Unit Four: Use of decontamination units and Class H vacuum cleaners
