Asbestos Awareness Course
What’s It About?

Asbestos is an extremely hazardous substance that has the potential to cause serious ill-health to anyone who disturbs it. Therefore it is really important that all workers that may come across Asbestos in their day-to-day work are suitably trained so that they can work safely.

This Asbestos Awareness course ensures you have a good basic knowledge and understanding of the dangers associated with asbestos fibres. It will make you aware of how to avoid risks and what correct health and safety procedures you should follow.

You will also understand the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What Will You Gain?

By the end of this Asbestos Awareness course, you will understand the legislation associated with asbestos-containing materials. You will also know how to comply with these regulations.

You will know the health risks associated with asbestos and understand the consequences of failure.

On returning to work, you will be able to identify the different types of asbestos. You will also know how to apply practical controls when you come across asbestos.

Who Should Attend?

This half-day Asbestos Awareness course is ideal for anyone who may be at risk of inadvertently disturbing asbestos-containing materials. This includes caretakers, electricians, plumbers, maintenance workers, joiners, computer engineers and even cleaners.

Please note that this is a Category A training course and is therefore not suitable for anyone working in the role of removing Asbestos from properties.

Why’s It Important?

Asbestos is the greatest single cause of work-related deaths in the UK. It results in around 5000 deaths each year. It is more than the number of people killed on the road. Approximately 20 tradesmen die each week as a result of past exposure.

It is now illegal to use asbestos in the construction and refurbishment of buildings. However, in the past asbestos cement products were widely used in the building industry. As a result, asbestos is still present in buildings that were built or refurbished before 2000. Therefore, it will continue to be an issue for many years to come.

Therefore, if you are at risk of coming across asbestos at work, it is a legal requirement that you undertake training. Also, as a business owner, if you allow builders or maintenance personnel onto your premises, then it’s vital you ensure that they have evidence of asbestos awareness training to prevent future compensation claims.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the IOSH Managing Safely course with Envesca, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The training was well organised, engaging, and delivered in a way that made even the more complex topics easy to understand. The trainer was knowledgeable, approachable, and encouraged plenty of discussion and real-life examples, which made the course both practical and enjoyable. I came away with a much better understanding of health and safety responsibilities and feel far more confident applying what I've learned in the workplace. I would highly recommend Envesca to anyone looking for professional, high-quality health and safety training. Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic learning experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Envesca deliver courses to the highest quality. In every course I have attended (Effective Auditing, IOSH Managing Safely, H&S Directors Course), the tutor has encouraged classroom discussion, and tailored examples to the industries and businesses of the course members. This helps to deepen our understanding and show how the concepts / rules apply in real life. The open discussion has given me some of the most valuable learnings and allowed course members to share ideas and templates. Highly recommend Envesca.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Envesca recently carried out our annual First Aid and Manual Handling Training. The trainers were well organised, knowledgeable and adapted the training to our specific setting which was exactly what we needed. The team enjoyed the course which was a good mix of theory and practical activities to put the learning into practice. Would use again

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. H&S courses made simple Envesca were absolutely fantastic to learn with. Having completed both L4 HASAW and L4 managing HACCP with them I achieved top results. The tutors were amazing and tailored the course to meet your learning style. Always putting candidates first. The support team at the head office are amazing. They help you and make the whole process simple. They also support ELC for any Forces that are looking for any courses prior to leaving the services. Would give them 6 stars if I could.
