Overview
Asbestos is a very hazardous substance. Asbestos Awareness training is a legal requirement for everyone working where asbestos course be present. This is because Asbestos has the potential to cause serious ill health to any one who disturbs it. Just a small level of asbestos exposure can increase a person’s risk of developing an asbestos-related disease such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 state that training is mandatory for anyone liable to be exposed to asbestos fibres at work, and this covers a long list of professions indeed (see below). Responsibility lies with employers to ensure that such employees, or anyone who supervises those employees, gets the correct level of information, instruction and training so that they can work safely and competently without risk to themselves or others. The HSE recognise online learning as a viable delivery method for asbestos awareness training. Training must satisfy the requirements of Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the supporting Approved Code of Practice L143 ‘Managing and working with asbestos’. This course is accredited by both the IATP and CPD and reviews as 'Excellent' by learners. So you can be reassured it meets legal requirements.
NOTE: This course does not allow you to knowingly disturb asbestos. Employees who plan to undertake work which will knowingly disturb asbestos require more detailed training not covered in this awareness course.
