In the UK, asbestos exposure is the No.1 cause of work-related deaths in the world, accounting for over 5000 deaths alone in the UK in 2019, giving the UK one of the highest asbestos related death rates in the world.

Any building or workplace that was either built or undertook refurbished before the year 2000 may have asbestos in the fabric of the building, which means workers could be exposed. When materials that contain asbestos are disturbed, the fibres are released into the air. When inhaled, they can cause serious diseases. These diseases can take many years to establish themselves and, more often than not, when diagnosed, it is medically too late to do anything.

Self-employed workers, especially in the construction industry, should make sure they too know how to protect themselves and to guarantee they are not putting others in any danger from their activities.

Our essential e-learning asbestos awareness course has been designed to give candidates an introduction and understanding of the essential requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

The course will communicate the essential information needed for workers when completing tasks that may involve asbestos and how they can reduce the risks involved. The following are some of the areas covered in the online course:

  • Identification of the different types of asbestos found.
  • The history of asbestos.
  • The use in the United Kingdom.
  • Likely locations of asbestos.
  • What health risks are there from asbestos.
  • Who might be at risk of exposure.
  • Legislation surrounding asbestos.
  • Undertaking asbestos surveys.
  • Assessing the risks.
  • Managing the options available.

At the end of the essential e-learning Asbestos Awareness Course, candidates will complete a multiple-choice test. Successful candidates will then be awarded an e certificate which can be used as evidence of continued professional development, used when looking to gain employment or further careers, used to update CPD and will overall demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of asbestos in the workplace.
