Is this the right online asbestos awareness course for you?

As someone working in the construction or maintenance trades, it is essential that you are aware of the products that are likely to contain asbestos and how to safely handle them.

Asbestos awareness: what is covered?

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) apply to employers, employees, self-employed individuals and duty holders (commercial building owners or Managers).

CAR covers all work with asbestos containing materials.

In regulation 10 of CAR, it clearly states that every employer must ensure that any employees likely to be exposed to or come into contact with asbestos as part of their work are provided with sufficient information, instruction and training on asbestos.

By completing this online asbestos awareness course, you will not only learn to identify these asbestos containing materials, but you’ll also learn about the risks associated with them.

You will learn about the different types of asbestos, what they look like, what common products and building materials you are likely to find them in and the locations where you are most likely to find them.

Asbestos awareness training will help you gain the knowledge required to avoid carrying out any work that may accidentally disturb asbestos, to protect yourself and others from any unnecessary exposure to asbestos, and you will also learn about current legislation on working with asbestos materials in general.

Basic Fire Safety Awareness

Wonderful course, very easy to follow. Got me up to speed in no time at all on the basics of fire safety. Would recommend to others wishing to learn more about the basic principles of fire safety in the workplace.

I enjoyed this course and found the interactive videos easy to follow.  The course content is well thought out and provided lots of useful information.  I passed each module with flying colours and feel I now understand the basics when it comes to asbestos awareness.  Would highly recommend this online course.

James Appleton
Level 1 Food Safety - catering

The level 1 food safety for catering course was easy to follow and I learned a lot.  I enjoyed the way the course was delivered and how it was broken down into small modules, which made it easier to learn.  I have since completed level 2 food safety too.
