Asbestos Awareness - Learning Objectives

Developing an awareness of the risks posed by asbestos-containing materials is primarily about keeping yourself and those around you safe from potential harm. It is possible for anyone working on a property of any kind constructed up to the year 2000 to encounter asbestos in a variety of forms at any time.

Knowing how to react immediately upon the discovery (or suspected discovery) of asbestos can literally make the difference between life and death. Thousands of workers continue to lose their lives each year due to the long-term effects of exposure to asbestos. The use of asbestos in the UK has been prohibited for more than two decades, but the material is still present in millions of homes, businesses and industrial premises across the country.

This essential course for contractors examines the ongoing risk posed by the presence of asbestos-containing materials, along with what can be done to prevent asbestos-related illness and how to react up on the discovery of asbestos.

Upon completion of this Asbestos Awareness training programme, candidates will benefit from the ability to:

• Understand and acknowledge the risk posed by asbestos-containing materials
• Know exactly what to do if asbestos is discovered or suspected
• Determine whether or not a licensed asbestos remover is needed
• Differentiate between the different types of asbestos related illness
• Put proactive measures in place to prevent illness or injury
• Act confidently in the case of an asbestos-related emergency
• Help and support others who lack formal asbestos awareness training

Ultimately, this course is designed to empower workers at all levels with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to safeguard their health and wellbeing, along with that of all other workers and members of the public in the vicinity.
