Asbestos
Asbestos was widely used in construction for decades due to its strength and fire-resistant properties. However, it is now known to be extremely hazardous. When disturbed, asbestos releases microscopic fibres into the air. These fibres can be inhaled and become lodged in the lungs, potentially leading to serious and often fatal diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. There is no safe level of exposure.
Why should I take this course?
Asbestos remains present in many buildings constructed before 2000, and disturbing it can release dangerous fibres into the air. Exposure can lead to serious, life-limiting illnesses, often developing decades after contact.
This course equips you with the knowledge to recognise potential asbestos-containing materials, understand the risks, and take the right precautions to avoid disturbing them.
Awareness is the first and most important step in preventing exposure.
What does the course cover?
This course covers a number of key subjects in respect to avoiding asbestos exposure including:
- Details on the properties of asbestos
- The health risks of asbestos
- Where asbestos can be found
- Mitigating risks of exposure
- Asbestos removal
