Asbestos Awareness

Course Aim

The aim of our Asbestos Awareness course is to educate individuals about the risks associated with asbestos exposure and how to safely manage situations where asbestos may be present. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre that was commonly used in building materials for its strength, heat resistance, and insulating properties.

Course Summary

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber known for its heat resistance, strength, and insulating properties. Despite its usefulness, asbestos poses serious health risks when disturbed, releasing microscopic fibers into the air that, when inhaled, can cause significant health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
