A
majority of the courses are held centrally on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire
border just a few minutes from the M1, but, in an attempt to make
it easier for the delegates, agreements have been reached with some
of the leading solid fuel appliance manufacturers to use their training
facilities to spread the courses further afield.
TESTIMONIAL
- Yesterday my colleague
and myself completed a HETAS awareness course at Villager
Stoves in Axminster. I would like to take the opportunity
to complement your company on the course content and the way
the course was run. The tuition material was more than adequate
for the completion of the course, and will serve as very useful
reference material in future for the conduct of our company’s
business.
The course tutor, Melvyn Bull, was clearly an expert in the
field of solid fuel and proved an excellent instructor. I
am, at this time, unsure of result of the examination but
hopeful for success.

the current Health and Safety legislation if you or your employees
work at heights such as on the roof or are using ladders,
as they must be if they are lining chimneys, then they must
be trained and passed as competent to do so. This course has
been put together by Mike Holborn who is one of the UK's leading
experts (and a member of the British Standard committee dealing
with roof access equipment) especially for those people carrying
out chimney lining operations and will provide the health
and Safety certification required for working at heights.
Mike Holborn is a Director of Ability International who produces
a wide range of specialist access equipment for roofs and
chimneys which is widely used within the
UK. This course has a practical element and delegates will
be asked to put together a tower
scaffold and a roof platform (on a simulated roof at ground
level) as well as be shown
and asked to test and assess ladders etc.
This course is a must for those
who carry out work on chimneys at roof level ! |
