Asbestos awareness

jon.hocker — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:16:02 +0000

In a Nutshell: Although asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, it remains present in hundreds of thousands of buildings. Every year, thousands of workers are accidentally exposed to asbestos fibres whilst carrying out routine maintenance, refurbishment and repair work. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed they release microscopic fibres into the air. These fibres cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can remain airborne for many hours. Once inhaled they may cause serious diseases including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis, often decades after exposure.

What’s covered: What asbestos is, why it was used, where it may still be found, the health risks associated with exposure and the legal responsibilities placed upon employers and employees

Please note: This course provides asbestos awareness only and does not qualify learners to remove, sample or work on asbestos-containing materials.

What’s covered: What working at height means, common causes of falls from height, relevant UK health and safety legislation, the hierarchy of control for work at height, safe use of ladders and access equipment, and recognising unsafe conditions and stopping work.
