Asbestos AwarenessÂ
Recognise asbestos risks and protect your health.
Asbestos is one of the biggest workplace health hazards, responsible for thousands of deaths each year from diseases such as mesothelioma and asbestosis. While its use is now banned, asbestos is still present in many buildings, and workers may be at risk of exposure if it is disturbed.
This Highfield e-learning course provides essential asbestos awareness training, helping learners understand the dangers of asbestos, where it may be found, and what to do if they encounter it in the workplace.
The course is designed for anyone who may come into contact with asbestos during their work, including construction workers, electricians, plumbers, decorators, engineers, and maintenance staff.
Key topics include:
-
What asbestos is and the health risks it poses
