Asbestos Awareness Half Day (In-House Only)

Who should attend?

Asbestos Awareness training is required to be given to employees whose work could expose them to asbestos. In particular, it should be given to all demolition workers and workers in the refurbishment, maintenance and allied trades where it is foreseeable that their work will disturb the fabric of the building, because asbestos products may become exposed during their work.

Why should you attend?

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, Regulation 10 requires every employer to ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to their employees who are or who are liable to be exposed to asbestos, or to those who supervise such employees. This course provides an awareness and development of knowledge to site based employees of the hazards and risks posed by asbestos containing materials (ACM?s) and an overview of the legislative measures in place to safeguard themselves and others affected by work activities. This course is not training to work with any form of asbestos but is likely to form the first part of training for work with asbestos. On its own, it does not meet the legal requirements laid down under Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006.
