Asbestos awareness trainer led course

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires every employer to ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to their employees who are, or could be liable to be exposed to asbestos, or who supervise such employees.
​
In particular, it should be given to those workers in the refurbishment, maintenance and allied trades where it is foreseeable that asbestos containing materials (ACMs) may become exposed during their work.

This course is now also available as one of our new remote video link trainer led courses.

Why is Asbestos an issue?
Asbestos still kills thousands of workers in the UK each year.  When materials that contain asbestos are disturbed or damaged, fibres are released into the air.  If these fibres are inhaled they can cause serious diseases. These diseases will not affect the worker immediately; they often take many years to develop, but once diagnosed, it is often too late to do anything.

Asbestos can cause the following fatal and serious diseases:
There are three primary diseases associated with asbestos exposure:
  • Asbestosis
  • Lung Cancer
  • Mesothelioma'
​
Course Content:
  • Outline the different types and properties of asbestos
  • Risks to and effects of health caused by exposure to asbestos and the increased risks from smoking
  • Explain where asbestos can typically be found within buildings
  • Outline the main reasons why asbestos was used: - coatings, insulation, asbestos insulting board, cement and other ACMs
  • Avoiding the risks from asbestos and demonstrate an awareness of how they would find information about the presence of asbestos before starting work
  • General emergency arrangements if asbestos is discovered
  • Understanding the legislation relating to asbestos
