This course helps you identify risks and respond appropriately. Is there an assessment? Yes. The course includes an assessment to confirm your understanding of asbestos awareness and safety procedures. What topics are covered? The course covers health risks of asbestos exposure, where asbestos is found in buildings, asbestos regulations and legal duties, what to do if asbestos is disturbed, and your duty of care under the Control of Asbestos Regulations. Why is asbestos still a risk if it was banned in 1999? Asbestos is still present in many buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000. It is safe if left undisturbed and properly managed, but poses serious health risks if damaged or disturbed during maintenance or refurbishment work. What should I do if I suspect asbestos is present? Stop work immediately, do not disturb the material, inform your supervisor or the building owner, and ensure the area is secured. An asbestos survey should be carried out by a licensed specialist.
