Course description
Asbestos Awareness
Asbestos is a life-threatening substance if inhaled. Everyone can be at risk if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are damaged or disturbed, resulting in fibers being released into the air. Working on or near damaged ACMs or breathing in high levels of asbestos fibers, which may be many hundreds of times that of environmental levels, can increase your chances of getting an asbestos-related disease.
This introductory course will help you identify what common structural items may contain ACMs and what the legal requirements are in relation to their handling.
