About this course
Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their staff know where asbestos and related materials are likely to be found, how to avoid the risk of exposure and to provide the necessary protective equipment to keep them safe.
This high-quality International Asbestos Awareness training has been stripped of UK legislation references to make it more applicable to a wider audience. Our course teaches you all you need to know about basic asbestos awareness in a concise online format.
Asbestos is the name given to a group of natural minerals which have been used for centuries. Valued for its durability and heat resistance, asbestos was often used as insulation in buildings, as flooring and roofing, and sprayed onto ceilings and walls. However, when broken down into tiny fibres and breathed in, it can lead to a host of life-threatening diseases – including asbestosis, pleural thickening, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
Currently, about 125 million people in the world are exposed to asbestos at the workplace (WHO). People who were working within (but not exclusive to) the construction and manufacturing industries in the 20th Century were at a higher risk of asbestos exposure.
This Asbestos Awareness training provides you with everything you need to know about the basics of asbestos safety awareness, and it does so in a concise, easily understood, and engaging format. However, please note – only HSE licensed contractors can test for and remove asbestos!
