Asbestos-related diseases currently accounts for some 5000 deaths in the UK each year. Construction personnel are now the group at highest risk when they work in existing buildings, which may still contain asbestos containing materials.
Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires that all workers who may come into contact with asbestos at work must receive Asbestos Awareness Training. This duty also extends to their supervisors and building professionals such as surveyors, engineers and architects.
This course is both compliant with Regulation 10 and carries accreditation from The United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association (UKATA).

Course Content
Delegates will cover the following topic areas on this course:
The properties of asbestos and its health effects, including the increased risk of lung cancer for asbestos workers who smoke
Types, uses, and likely occurrence of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings and plant
General procedures to be followed to deal with in an emergency, for example an uncontrolled release of asbestos into the workplace
The importance of requiring and understanding the contents of the asbestos survey and the annual management information
How to avoid the risks from asbestos, for example: for building work, no employee should carry out work which disturbs the fabric of a building unless the employer has confirmed that ACMs are not present.
