Asbestos Awareness training

This RoSPA accredited course covers asbestos identification, the control measures involved and ways to identify and manage associated risks.

This Asbestos Awareness training supports employees by giving them the information they need to identify the main types of asbestos, the health risks involved and how to safely approach the situation if asbestos is present.

Why is Asbestos Awareness training important?

According to the HSE, asbestos kills around 5000 workers each year.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 sets out the expectations for employee asbestos awareness training, and this course aims to help our clients meet these requirements.

Workers and supervisors must be able to recognise asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and know what to do if they come across them in order to protect themselves and others.
