Asbestos awareness training is a legal requirement for anyone likely to encounter Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) during their work, including supervisors. It ensures workers have the knowledge and training to protect themselves and others from the health risks of asbestos exposure. (See the HSE’s guidance on asbestos training for more details.)

This course is also ideal for those wanting a basic understanding of asbestos in buildings—making it a great starting point before progressing to more advanced training.

By the end of the course, attendees will understand:

• Duty holder responsibilities

• Health effects and emergency procedures

• Common ACMs and where they’re found

• The role of asbestos removal specialists

• Key principles of managing asbestos
