Who Needs Asbestos Awareness Training?
Asbestos Awareness training is intended for people who may encounter asbestos-containing materials during their normal work. This particularly applies to people working on or around older buildings where asbestos may still be present.
The course may be appropriate for workers such as:

Why Is Asbestos Awareness Training Important?
Asbestos-containing materials can still be present in many UK buildings. Disturbing them can release asbestos fibres into the air and create serious health risks. Awareness training helps workers recognise the risks and understand when work should stop.
