Asbestos Awareness

Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used. Every year thousands of people fall
ill and die because of exposure to asbestos and it was widely used by the construction industry right up
until the year 2000.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons, and
duty holders and covers all work with asbestos-containing materials. Regulation 10 of CAR states that
every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction, and training is given to employees who
are liable to be exposed to asbestos. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into
contact with or disturb asbestos.

As well as informing candidates about the risks of working with asbestos, the course will deliver content to
help them recognise asbestos-containing materials, make them aware of where it was used, including steps
they can take to minimise the risks, and discuss the legislation that applies to working with asbestos.

Target Audience
The Asbestos Awareness course is designed for anyone who may come into contact with asbestos in their
work. Most commonly, that includes builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and other building-related
and maintenance trades.

Advantages
Being aware of the products that are likely to contain asbestos and the risks associated with them give
workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos.

The course is approved by leading industry bodies ROSPA and the IATP.

Online training is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective meaning the candidate can progress through the
modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training in around their work and
personal life.
Further Progression
There are a wide range of other health and safety courses available in the e-Learning suite that are relevant
to the same industries as these courses.
