Asbestos Awareness
Legally required awareness training under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, for anyone whose work could foreseeably disturb asbestos-containing materials.
What to expect
A half-day CPD session covering asbestos awareness — the legally required Category A training under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for anyone whose normal work could foreseeably expose them to asbestos. This is not training to remove or work on asbestos itself — that's licensed or non-licensed work requiring separate qualification. This course is about recognising asbestos-containing materials, understanding why any disturbance matters, and knowing exactly what to do — and what not to do — if you encounter it.
- Where asbestos-containing materials are commonly found in buildings built or refurbished before 2000
- The health risks of asbestos exposure and why there's no known safe level
- Legal duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, including the duty to manage
- Recognising different types and conditions of asbestos-containing materials
- The distinction between awareness, non-licensed, and licensed asbestos work
- What to do — and what to stop doing immediately — if asbestos is discovered or accidentally disturbed
Built around your company, your values and your processes
Delivered with reference to the types of buildings and materials your team is actually likely to encounter.
Who it's for
Anyone whose normal work could foreseeably disturb asbestos — maintenance staff, electricians, plumbers, joiners, and general tradespeople working in buildings built or refurbished before 2000. This is one of the most widely required awareness courses in construction and facilities management.
