Do you need asbestos awareness training?

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 require mandatory training for anyone liable to be exposed to asbestos fibres at work.  This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or who may disturb asbestos as well as those involved in asbestos removal work.

Trades likely to disturb asbestos:  electricians, joiners, plumbers, gas fitters, shop fitters, heating & ventilation engineers, roofers, plasterers, demolition workers, phone & data engineers, alarm installers, surveyors, painters & decorators.

Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can result in release of invisible fibres which can cause lung cancer and lung diseases.

The course will cover: 

• recognising asbestos
• how asbestos can affect your health
• the added dangers of smoking
