Asbestos Awareness

Who is this for?

Anyone whose work could disturb asbestos-containing materials, including tradespeople, maintenance staff, demolition and construction workers.

Description

An asbestos awareness course designed to give workers the knowledge to avoid disturbing asbestos-containing materials. It does not authorise work with asbestos, but ensures workers can recognise the risk, know where asbestos may be found, and know what to do if they suspect they have found it.

What you'll learn

• The properties of asbestos and the health risks of exposure.
• The types and uses of asbestos-containing materials and where they may be found.
• How to avoid the risk of exposure.
• What to do if you discover or accidentally disturb asbestos.
• Emergency procedures and the legal framework.
