Online Asbestos Awareness Training Course with instant certification
Most buildings built before 2000 contained asbestos. It was considered a ‘miracle ingredient’ and was added to increase the strength and durability of products.
Gradually the dangers of asbestos began to be realised and we now have the legacy of millions of buildings with asbestos products in their structure. Disturbing the asbestos, either during maintenance work or structural alterations can be dangerous, both for those who undertake the work and for those who are based in the same buildings.
The control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2006 states that asbestos training is mandatory for anyone who is involved with or affected by disturbing the fabric of a building.
This course also helps those responsible for building, the “Duty Holder”, to understand the regulations and know how to provide with maintenance, alterations and repairs.
This essential asbestos course is rated a class A asbestos awareness training course.
