Asbestos Awareness training
A lack of understanding of the risks around asbestos at work can expose employees to major health risks.
Our RoSPA and CPD accredited online Asbestos Awareness training is created alongside industry experts and covers asbestos identification, the potential health issues and ways to identify and manage associated risks.
Why is Asbestos Awareness training important?
According to the HSE, asbestos kills around 5000 workers each year.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 sets out the expectations for employee asbestos awareness training, and this course aims to help our clients meet these requirements.
Workers and supervisors must be able to recognise asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and know what to do if they come across them in order to protect themselves and others.

FAQs
Who is most at risk of asbestos exposure?
In the workplace, any individual that works with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) or is likely to encounter asbestos during normal work is at risk of asbestos exposure, especially if they’re not adequately trained in asbestos awareness.
Some roles that are at high risk of asbestos exposure include:
- Construction Workers: They often encounter asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) during renovations, demolitions, or repairs.
- Shipyard Workers: Asbestos was widely used in shipbuilding, so shipyard workers are at increased risk of exposure to ACMs.
- Miners: Asbestos miners face direct exposure during extraction.
- Insulators and Plumbers: Insulation materials that insulators and plumbers often work with contain asbestos.
- Electricians and HVAC Technicians: ACMs are found often in electrical panels and HVAC systems.
- Firefighters: Asbestos fibers can be released during firefighting.
- Maintenance Staff: Older buildings or buildings of a certain period often contain asbestos.
Is it mandatory to have asbestos awareness training?
Yes, in the UK, it is mandatory for employers to provide asbestos awareness training to workers who may encounter asbestos or ACMs during their normal work activities.
Failure to provide adequate asbestos awareness training can result in fines and puts staff who are likely to encounter ACMs at serious risk.
