Asbestos Awareness Course Overview:
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 the construction industry widely used it right up until the year 2000.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons and duty holders and cover 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, this Asbestos Awareness E-learning 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.
Asbestos Awareness Target Audience
The Asbestos Awareness E-Learning 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 of Asbestos Awareness E-Learning
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 Asbestos Awareness E-Learning course is approved by leading industry bodies IIRSM, Gatehouse Awards, CPD & 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.
