Asbestos Awareness Training

Asbestos is by far the single biggest cause of work-related death in Britain. On average eleven deaths occur each day as a result of previous workplace exposure to asbestos, and far greater numbers suffer from crippling chronic ill-health. Asbestos was widely used in buildings until 2000, so a wide range of workers are still at risk today. In particular, plumbers, electricians, carpenters and builders who may be involved in refurbishment or alterations, and anyone involved in facilities management and caretaking. may be at risk.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 build upon earlier legislation and require employers to provide mandatory training for all those at risk of exposure, as well as placing a duty to manage asbestos on the person or organisation responsible for the maintenance and repair of all non-domestic premises

Our 2 hour awareness course is designed to assist employers and workers to reduce the risk of exposure and to comply with legal requirements, and covers:-

• The scale of the health problem
• the nature of asbestos and why it is harmful
• how and where asbestos was used, and how it is recognised
• importance of the Asbestos Register
• Legal requirements - Licensed and Non-licensed work
• Sensible precautions and PPE
• Action on discovery of suspicious materials
• Sources of further advice and guidance

To deliver this course to a group of staff on your premises, the cost would be £230 + vat for the group, to which a travel charge may apply, depending upon the location. The cost includes course handouts and certificates of training for all participants.
