Overview

There are more than 3,000 deaths each year in the UK from asbestos related diseases and this number is expected to continue to rise. Thousands of tonnes of asbestos products were used in building construction in the past and much of it is still in place. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers and others doing maintenance or refurbishment works may be at risk where asbestos products are disturbed. If you own or are responsible for the management of a workplace, whether a factory, warehouse or office which may contain asbestos products, you need to consider risks of exposure to people using or doing works in the building. This half-day course will help you to identify, assess and manage asbestos products in your premises.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
