Site safety

Asbestos Awareness

Recognise where asbestos may be present in buildings and the actions to take to avoid disturbing it.

Learning focus

  • Identify where asbestos-containing materials may be found
  • Understand the health risks of asbestos exposure
  • Know what to do if suspect materials are disturbed

What this training is — and isn’t

  • It is awareness training that gives your team a shared understanding of the risks and safe practice.
  • It helps evidence the “Health & safety awareness” section of your training matrix.
  • It isn’t a replacement for CSCS, CITB, IPAF, PASMA or other recognised qualifications, or for competence, practical assessment and site-specific instruction for higher-risk tasks.
