Asbestos Awareness

This half day course is fully compliant with Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2006. CAR 2006 identified sixteen target groups of workers that require Asbestos Awareness training:
General maintenance staff; electricians; plumbers; gas fitters; painters and decorators; joiners; plasterers; demolition workers; construction workers; roofers; heating and ventilation engineers; telecommunication engineers; burglar and fire alarm installers; computer installers; architects, building surveyors and other such professionals; shop fitters.

It is estimated that 1.8 million people are disturbing asbestos regularly and most aren’t even aware of it.

This course is based around the core elements of:
  • What is asbestos? - the main properties of asbestos and its effects on health;
  • The types and likely occurrences of asbestos and ACMs in premises and plant;
  • General procedures to be followed in the event of release of asbestos;
  • How to avoid the risks from asbestos.
By liaising with the client, the course can be developed and adapted to refer to or include specific areas of the client’s operations, particularly focussing on issues that are present and utilising the client’s own asbestos policies and procedures.
