Asbestos Awareness Training Course

Working in an old UK building? You might be next to asbestos right now. Asbestos is a fibre once mixed into pipes, ceilings and insulation up to the year 2000. It looked harmless, but when disturbed, it sends fibres into the air that lodge in your lungs for life. An asbestos awareness course teaches you to recognise it, avoid it and report it. The HSE confirms over 5,000 UK workers die from asbestos illness every year. Most are tradespeople who didn't know what they were cutting into.

So what does this training do? It shows you what asbestos looks like, where it hides and what to do if you find it. Lessons are clear and simple, so you can follow along even if English is your second language. After our asbestos online training, you can apply for site jobs. Roles in construction, plumbing and electrics all need it.

Our asbestos awareness training course is flexible and easy to follow. It includes:

• Fully online learning

What You Will Learn In The Asbestos Awareness Course

With the completion of your course, you'll learn to:

• Identify asbestos by colour, texture and location
• Tell apart the three types: white, brown and blue
• Read a property asbestos register before any work
• Use UK CAR 2012 rules to stay safe on site
• Stop work the moment you find suspected asbestos
• Report findings to your supervisor and licensed removers
• Avoid actions that release deadly fibres
• Protect yourself, your crew and the public

Rules for Renewal

Your asbestos certificate has no expiry date. It lasts a lifetime. But HSE guidance asks for a refresher every 12 months under CAR 2012. So review your notes yearly and take a deeper look every 3 years.

Why Is This Course Important?

Asbestos kills slowly. One disturbed sheet and fibres reach your lungs years before symptoms show. There are many asbestos awareness courses online in the UK. Ours stands apart by proving your skills meet HSE rules. It also shows you can:

• Recognise asbestos before you cut or drill
• Follow UK CAR 2012 rules without slipping up
• Use a building's asbestos register properly
• Warn other workers about risky materials

UK builders, plumbers, electricians and joiners must hold this certificate by law before site work. That's why building firms, councils and housing teams hire trained staff first.

Who Is This Asbestos Awareness Course For?

Our asbestos awareness online training suits anyone working near older UK buildings. For example, it works for immigrants chasing site jobs where asbestos knowledge is a must. But the course suits more than immigrants. Career switchers benefit massively. So do plumbers, electricians and joiners. Caretakers, cleaners and waste handlers use it too. And if you want to work as a self-employed tradesperson? Our certificate is the right next step.

How We Test You

You must successfully solve 60% of the questions to move to the next part. If you do not pass the first time, do not worry. You can retake the quiz as many times as you need without extra cost.
