Asbestos Awareness Training: for Architects and Designers
Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used.
Every year thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons and duty holders and cover all work with asbestos containing materials.
Regulation 10 of CAR states that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos.
This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.
As well as informing candidates about the risks of working with asbestos.
Firstly the course will deliver content to help them recognise asbestos containing materials.
Secondly make you aware of where it was used, include steps they can take to minimise the risks and discuss the legislation that applies to working with asbestos.
