Introduction
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral has in the past been regarded as a miracle
substance because of its many properties, particularly, flame resistance. However,
even historically it has been linked to long term illness. Asbestos once assimulated
into body cells can lead to a range of painful, debilitating and often fatal diseases
such as Mesothelioma, Asbestosis and lung cancer.

Although banned from use in the UK since 1999, older buildings still contain
asbestos within many building materials. The 2012 Control of Asbestos Regulations
states that there is a "duty to manage" any asbestos in the building. This course will
clarify the responsibilities of duty holders, inform those who work within asbestos
containing buildings and meet the legislative requirement for awareness training.
