Asbestos Awareness Training

Asbestos has been used in the construction business since the 1800s and was only stopped around about the year 2000.

It was thought to be the ideal material for buildings since it contains fibres that are resistant to heat and fire. However, these fibres were found to be lethal when people breathed in the tiny particles. They become trapped in the lungs and can cause respiratory diseases like asbestosis and lung cancer.

Therefore, it is important that anyone involved in construction, planning maintenance and design of buildings are aware of the dangers and know exactly how to handle asbestos if they come across it as part of their work.

We have formed a partnership with the company, All about Asbestos, to bring you an e-learning course in Asbestos Awareness. All About Asbestos have over 30 years’ experience in the field and together we offer this e-course to those people who work in commercial, industrial and domestic properties.

The course is designed for anybody who might come into contact with asbestos. This includes builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, plasterers and decorators; in fact anyone involved in the re-building or renovation of a property.
