WHO SHOULD DO THIS COURSE
Asbestos is an incredibly hazardous substance that causes serious ill-health to anyone who disturbs it. For this reason, anyone who is likely to disturb asbestos in their work must have an awareness of the correct health and safety procedures to follow.
Asbestos Awareness (Category A) training helps workers to understand the risks associated with the material so that they can avoid work that may disturb asbestos. This accredited Asbestos Awareness course provides a comprehensive introduction to the dangers of working with asbestos and helps employers to comply with the law by ensuring that their workers are appropriately trained in order to work safely.
Note that any workers who plan to carry out work which will knowingly disturb asbestos require a higher level of training, (Category B or C) which is a separate course. The Category A course does not allow you to work with asbestos containing materials.
