Each member of staff is enrolled in the extensive foundation training programme that is designed to manage risk effectively and increase safety awareness. The training programme encompasses all mandatory training as well as bespoke training such as individual management courses.

Through its training scheme, Dorton Group ensures that every member of staff has a thorough understanding of the demolition and asbestos industry and is fully trained in how to manage the risks that are inherent in the trade.
