Asbestos is the leading cause of occupational deaths in the UK, with more than 5,500 people dying each year due to exposure. Many buildings still contain asbestos, any building built before 2000 has the potential to contain it.

Asbestos awareness training is a legal requirement for any workers who may come into contact with asbestos. This IATP certificated Asbestos Awareness course uses a mix of media to engage learners with whiteboard animations, exercises and videos. The course will help workers to understand the risks associated with asbestos and will help employers to comply with UK asbestos regulations.
