Asbestos Awareness Training Course Overview

This training is ever so important that both construction and the entire building maintenance sectors are facing hazardous human health issues caused by asbestos inhalation. This training is exactly what one needs to master to identify all asbestos-containing materials and the required safety procedures.

Grasping asbestos and its hazards is especially important for both observing occupational health and safety and, first, ensuring it in industries where the danger of asbestos exposure is higher. This training program was created specifically for individuals who are engaged in construction, building inspection, maintenance and any other profession that might require contact with asbestos.

The 1-day training offered by Knowledge Academy is an intense course which will give the delegates a fully up-to-date education on asbestos, its effects and how to work with it in a safe manner at the workplace. The training will train the workers to understand their legal obligation, implement standard safety management processes, and to minimise health risks from asbestos.

  • To enhance awareness of asbestos in buildings and construction environments

With the completion of this training, delegates will be well-prepared and ready to continue their work on a proactive, systematic task of identifying and managing asbestos problems. They will be fully aware of all the health risks related to asbestos, as well as safety requirements and best practices, which may minimise the level of exposure of employees in the enterprise.
