Gift Voucher for Asbestos Awareness For Architects and Designers Online Course

Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used and every year thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to it. Having widely been used by the construction industry, right up until the year 2000, asbestos remains a hazard to this day with many workers still coming into contact with it.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons and duty holders and covers all work with asbestos containing materials. Regulation 10 of the CAR states that ‘every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.’ 

As well as informing you about the risks of working with asbestos, the course will deliver detailed information about recognising asbestos, where it’s used, how to minimise the risks and detail the legislation about working with asbestos in an architect or designer’s role.
