Course Overview
This training course is specifically designed for workers who might encounter asbestos in their workplace.
It provides crucial information about what asbestos is, where it can typically be found, and the purposes for which it has been used.
The course also explains the significant health risks associated with asbestos exposure, helping workers understand why it is considered dangerous.
Employers have a legal obligation to ensure their employees are well-informed about the locations where asbestos and related materials are likely to be present.

Why is Asbestos Awareness important?
Asbestos awareness is important because exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health issues.
Since asbestos was widely used in construction and other industries, many buildings and materials still contain it today. Understanding what asbestos is, where it can be found, and how to handle it safely helps prevent accidental exposure, protecting both workers and the general public.
Awareness also ensures compliance with legal regulations and promotes safer work environments.
