Course overview of Asbestos Awareness
Our Asbestos Awareness training is a general awareness course for people working in social care to understand the essentials about asbestos. Furthermore, workers who plan to carry out work that will disturb asbestos require a higher level of training.
In addition, HSE recognises the use of eLearning as a viable delivery method for asbestos awareness training, provided it satisfies the requirements of Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the supporting Approved Code of Practice.
