Silverdell (UK) Ltd today announced that following a successful audit by the General Manager of UKATA (The United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association), Silverdell Academy for Excellence (SAFE) has been awarded membership.

“We are extremely proud that SAFE has been accepted as a member, and we fully intend to actively participate in helping achieve the Associations’ aims” said Chris Bishop, Head of Training, SAFE.

SAFE has recently delivered various training courses to Silverdell’s prestigious clients, including management training to MACE & ISG, and is about to start rolling out Asbestos Awareness training to the sub-contractors working on Marks & Spencer’s refurbishment projects via the SAFE mobile training unit.
