Asbestos Awareness Training

Give your team the knowledge to recognise and avoid asbestos risks.

Asbestos Awareness Training is designed for anyone who may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials during their work.

The training helps attendees understand the health risks associated with asbestos, where asbestos may commonly be found and how to recognise situations where asbestos could potentially be present.

Training can be particularly valuable for maintenance teams, contractors, tradespeople, property managers and anyone involved in work that could disturb the fabric of a building.

The aim is to ensure that those attending understand the importance of avoiding disturbance and know what action to take if they encounter a material they suspect may contain asbestos.

Training can cover:

• What asbestos is

• The health risks associated with asbestos exposure

• Where asbestos can commonly be found

• Types of asbestos-containing materials

• How asbestos materials can be damaged or disturbed

• What to do if asbestos is suspected

• Appropriate precautions

• Responsibilities surrounding asbestos management

Make sure your team understands the risks. Ask BHT Environmental about asbestos awareness training.
