Law requires that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos.

This course covers all areas of asbestos awareness and is designed for anyone who may come into contact with asbestos in their work. That includes builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters and other building-related and maintenance trades.

Legislation: 

While this Asbestos Awareness Training Online course focuses on UK Stats and Legislation, most importantly the requirements are all based on European Directives and European Norms and are applicable throughout Europe. Therefore the main reference documents used in the UK and Ireland are:
HSE (UK) technical documents such as HSG 248
The analysts’ guide for sampling, analysis and clearance procedures, HSG 264 Asbestos: The Survey
Guide and HSG 247 The Licensed Contractors Guide.
