About Course

This e-learning module provides the essential requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, it identifies Duty Holders’ responsibilities in addition to the practical application of managing asbestos in the workplace.

Any building or workplace built or refurbished before 2000 may have asbestos in it, if you own or manage a premise where people work the law requires an assessment of asbestos. Over twenty tradesmen die every week from an asbestos-related illness, it is important to ensure that you are not putting your employees or contractors at risk from potential exposure to asbestos. It is essential not only as the Duty Holder but also as an employee or contractor to understand the potential hazards associated with asbestos and attached levels of risk. This is why you need to consider our Asbestos Awareness Course.

This module provides a systematic approach with the identification of what your responsibilities are, and what is required to assist you to manage asbestos within your or customers premise.
