CONSTRUCTION students have been treated to some free safety training that will help prepare them for the world of work.
Durham-based Omega Asbestos Consulting have worked alongside East Durham College to deliver four specialist sessions on asbestos awareness.
Each session looked into the nature, origins and hazards of asbestos, the safe and correct ways to work in environments with asbestos, emergency procedures and safety dealing with asbestos as well as legislation and guidance around the subject.
The training, which usually costs around £35 per person, was delivered free.
