Course Outline

This awareness e-learning course is ideal for anyone that needs to develop a basic understanding of what asbestos is, the risks associated with asbestos and how to work safely to avoid exposure to asbestos.

Our course is accredited by UKATA and provides a UKATA certificate upon completion.

Who is this course for?

An awareness level knowledge of asbestos is very important for anyone self-employed, working as a contractor, or anyone involved in maintenance or refurbishment of buildings.

Asbestos can be found in any property built before it was banned in 1999, and any professional who makes alterations to buildings of this age should be aware of asbestos and the serious risks that it poses to health. Additionally, some buildings refurbished after the ban may also include asbestos containing building materials.

An awareness of where you can commonly find asbestos and what to look out for can keep you safe and reduce your risk of developing mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Some construction companies require employees to hold a valid UKATA Asbestos Awareness certificate in order to enter sites and carry out work.

Contents of this course:

Module 1 – Types, nature and properties of asbestos
Module 2 – Risks of asbestos and effects on health, including effects of smoking
Module 3 – Use and locations of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs)
Module 4 – Legislation affecting asbestos
Module 5 – Avoiding and reducing risks

Assessment

The assessment for this course is a multiple-choice exam that you will have 40 minutes to complete.

After successfully completing the assessment your UKATA certificate will be valid for 1 year from the date of passing the assessment.

Please note: This course is not suitable for anyone looking to work with asbestos directly or remove it from any industry, commercial, domestic or other property.
