About this Course

There are over 5000 Asbestos-related disease deaths per year, despite it being banned in the UK in 1999.

Many buildings constructed before the year 2000 may have asbestos in them, meaning that it’s crucial that anyone who might be exposed – such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters and builders – must have asbestos awareness training.

The Asbestos Awareness Online Course provides you with everything you need to know about the basics of asbestos safety awareness.

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 PPE to keep the worker safe.
