Our Asbestos Awareness Online Training Course is Instructor-Led Video Training

Asbestos Awareness is crucial for everyone's safety. Asbestos, a material used in buildings from the 1950s until the late 1990s, poses serious risks. Asbestos Awareness is essential because asbestos is still found in many buildings today, including homes, schools, and hospitals.

Asbestos Awareness helps people understand the dangers of asbestos exposure and how to reduce risks, because If you breathe in asbestos fibers, you might have a higher chance of getting serious diseases like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

Our Asbestos Awareness online training course is designed to raise Asbestos Awareness and educate individuals about the potential harm from asbestos. Enrolling in our Asbestos Awareness course is a proactive way to enhance Asbestos Awareness and promote safety in environments where asbestos may be present.

According to the UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE):

Asbestos-related diseases remain the leading cause of work-related fatalities in the UK, with over 5,000 deaths annually due to past asbestos exposure. In a 2018 HSE survey, 20% of participants admitted they had never heard of asbestos, while 47% were unaware of its uses. Asbestos is still found in many UK buildings, including homes, schools, and hospitals, and is linked to nearly half of all work-related cancer deaths. Although asbestos use has been heavily restricted since the 1980s, it has not been fully banned in the UK as of 2021.

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.
