Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues. Knowing how to manage this material is crucial.
Our Asbestos Management course is designed to teach employees at risk how to safely identify asbestos and what to do if they suspect asbestos is present, including a look at the key pieces of asbestos legislation.
Additionally, the course offers employees an overview of asbestos related legislation and why this was put in place.
Our Asbestos Management course is broken down into three modules and an assessment:
Our Asbestos Management course is broken down into three modules and an assessment:
Asbestos exposure can be very dangerous, leading to diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. There are different kinds of asbestos but all of them can cause health problems in certain circumstances. This module explores what asbestos is, how it is dangerous and where it can be found.
It’s important to know what the main legislation relating to asbestos is and what it means for you. This module covers the role of the duty holders and all the rules and regulations they must follow, including a step by step guide to complying with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Due to the severe health risks of asbestos exposure, it’s vital that it’s managed correctly and by people qualified to conduct the work. This module explores the different types of surveys, registers and management plans relating to asbestos and what to do when asbestos materials are damaged.
Learners are assessed via multiple-choice questions about asbestos awareness. They must achieve a mark of 80% or above to pass.

Asbestos is one of the most dangerous building materials ever used and it’s vital that proper online asbestos awareness training is given to those who are at risk of coming into contact with it.
The training is important because, prior to the year 2000, asbestos was widely utilised by the construction industry for roofing, flooring, and for insulating homes and office blocks.
Unfortunately, thousands of people still fall ill every year due to exposure to asbestos, the fibres of which can cause respiratory diseases such as lung cancer and scarring of the lining of the lungs.
However, with a proper asbestos awareness course, those most at risk can avoid contact with this life-threatening substance.
Asbestos can be present in dozens of materials and all buildings constructed before the year 2000 may include it. Examples include textiles, plastic-based products and wall fillings. A good rule of thumb is “if in doubt, assume asbestos is present”. Never do work in areas with known asbestos until you have consulted an expert.
The responsibility for managing asbestos lies with the owner or “responsible person” with a duty over the premises in question. They must make sure their buildings are safe for everybody to work in and use. More broadly, all workers need to know when to recognise the dangers of asbestos so they do not unwittingly disturb it.
Asbestos exposure can damage people’s health in several ways. Thousands of deaths every year are attributed to it. As the fibres are breathed in, most of the associated health problems focus on the lungs. Asbestosis and mesothelioma (a rare form of cancer) are examples of the health problems that can arise from asbestos exposure.
