Course Aims and Objectives

UKATA-accredited Asbestos awareness is essential for employees whose work holds the potential to expose them to asbestos. Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 (CAR 2006) puts a requirement on employers to ensure that their staff have undergone suitable asbestos awareness training so that they are aware of the potential dangers they may face and also the procedures they must follow in the event they are working in the vicinity of asbestos-containing materials. The main group of workers that are deemed to be at risk from asbestos exposure and therefore the groups most requiring asbestos awareness training are as follows:

• General Maintenance Staff
• Electricians, Plumbers and Gas Fitters
• Painters and Decorators
• Construction and Demolition Workers
• Joiners and Plasterers
• Computing and Telecommunications Engineers
• Roofers
• Architects and Building Surveyors
