Asbestos Awareness course
Original price was: £20.00.Current price is: £9.47. + VAT
️ Detailed Breakdown of Asbestos Awareness Course Content

1. Asbestos Products & Identification

This section focuses on recognising what materials contain asbestos.
- What it Covers: Trainees learn about the common forms of asbestos (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, etc.) and the vast range of materials they were used in. This includes:
  
  Building Materials: Asbestos insulating board (AIB), pipe insulation, corrugated roofing sheets, cement water tanks, floor tiles, textured coatings (like Artex), and sealants.
  
  Equipment: Gaskets, brake linings, and fire blankets.
- Key Learning: How to recognise the potential presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) by appearance, location, and age of the building, and the importance of never disturbing a material suspected to contain asbestos.
2. History of Asbestos

This provides context for why asbestos is still a problem today.
- What it Covers: The historical use of asbestos, particularly in construction and industry, due to its excellent properties (insulation, fire resistance, tensile strength) and low cost. It covers the timeline from its peak usage (mid-20th century) to the eventual ban in most developed countries (e.g., the UK ban in 1999).
- Key Learning: Understanding that virtually any building constructed or refurbished before the year 2000 could contain asbestos, necessitating caution.
3. Health Effects

This is the critical section that explains why awareness is essential.
- What it Covers: The serious, often fatal, diseases caused by inhaling asbestos fibres. These include:
  
  Mesothelioma: A cancer of the lining of the lungs or abdomen.
  
  Asbestos-related lung cancer: Cancer of the lungs.
  
  Asbestosis: Scarring of the lung tissue.
  
  Pleural thickening: Thickening of the lining of the lungs.
- Key Learning: It emphasizes the latency period (diseases can take 15–60 years to develop after exposure) and that there is no safe level of exposure to airborne asbestos fibres.
4. Legislation & Responsibility

This focuses on the legal framework for managing the risk.
- What it Covers: An overview of the key regulations (in the UK, this is the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, or CAR 2012) that govern the management of asbestos.
- Responsibility: The specific duties of building owners/duty holders, employers, and employees. For example, duty holders must maintain an up-to-date Asbestos Register and have a Management Plan.
- Key Learning: Understanding the legal requirement to protect workers and the public, and that an Asbestos Awareness certificate is mandatory for anyone who may encounter or disturb ACMs during their work.
5. How Employees May Encounter Asbestos

This connects the theory to real-world work situations.
- What it Covers: Scenario-based training illustrating how tradespeople (e.g., electricians, plumbers, joiners, roofers) can accidentally disturb ACMs.
  
  Examples: Drilling into a wall that contains AIB, cutting into pipe lagging, sanding down textured coatings, or breaking an asbestos cement sheet during maintenance.
- Key Learning: The course teaches the STOP-CHECK-REPORT procedure: Stop work immediately, check the Asbestos Register, and report the potential disturbance to a supervisor.
6. Treatment and Asbestos Removal (Overview)

Important Note: An Awareness course is not a license to work with or remove asbestos.
- What it Covers: This section provides a high-level overview only. It distinguishes between non-licensed work (very minor, low-risk tasks), notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW), and licensed work (high-risk removal operations).
- Key Learning: Workers learn that most asbestos removal is highly regulated and must be performed by specialist licensed contractors, and their own role is primarily one of avoidance and reporting.
