Asbestos remains one of the UK’s most dangerous workplace health hazards. Despite being banned, it still exists in thousands of buildings — making awareness training essential for anyone who might disturb it.
This half-day course provides workers and supervisors with the knowledge to recognise asbestos risks and avoid accidental exposure. It follows Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and is a legal requirement for many roles in maintenance and construction.
✔ Fully compliant with UK regulations
✔ Clear, accessible format — no prior knowledge required
