Course Description
Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used. Every year, tens of thousands of people fall ill and die because of asbestos exposure. This is because it was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) applies to employers, employees, self-employed persons, and duty holders that cover all work with asbestos-containing materials. Regulation 10 of CAR states that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction, and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos-containing materials. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.
As well as informing candidates about the risks of working with asbestos, the course will deliver content to help them recognise asbestos-containing materials as well as where it was used. This includes steps that can be taken to minimise the risks, and discuss the legislation that applies to working with asbestos.
Each module is rounded off with several multiple-choice questions, candidates are required to get 100% on these tests to pass the course. Candidates have the opportunity to review all the answers at the end of each module before final submission. If they fail, they will be given 3 attempts to achieve the required result.
