Description
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 it was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 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.
Our Asbestos Awareness course covers key areas of knowledge regarding Asbestos and avoiding accidental exposure to it:
• What asbestos is
• Where it can be found
• Asbestos-related death
• Health implications of asbestos exposure
• Working with asbestos
• Preventing accidental asbestos exposure
Knowledge will also be tested by a series of interactive exercises followed by a multiple-choice assessment at the end of the course. A pass mark of 100% is needed to complete the course.
On completion of the course, the system produces a personalised certificate.
