Asbestos Awareness Training

by Autec

It is a legal requirement that anyone who may come in contact with asbestos in their day to day work has been provided with asbestos awareness training. If they intentionally work with asbestos they must have had appropriate training specific to the tasks they will undertake.

Even if you have no intention of removing asbestos but work on buildings built or refurbished before the turn of this century, asbestos could be present. You will need awareness training so you know how to avoid the risks. Our asbestos awareness training is designed for employees whose work could expose them to asbestos or those who supervise the work.
