Why Asbestos Awareness Training

Where asbestos containing materials (ACM) may be present or suspected in the workplace asbestos awareness training is essential to inform managers, controllers of work premises, trade persons and employees of the health and safety risks associated with asbestos and the ways in which to avoid disturbance of the ACM and subsequent exposure to asbestos fibres.

SESA asbestos awareness training course is developed and delivered by occupational hygiene consultants, licenced asbestos assessors and accredited workplace trainers and assessors.

The training runs over two hours and can be delivered at your premises or booked for individuals who wish to attend our monthly public sessions.

The asbestos awareness training session covers the following topics:

• Historical uses and potential sources of asbestos in the workplace with examples
• Health risks from exposure to asbestos fibre
• Legal obligations under asbestos legislation and asbestos codes of practice
• Asbestos identification, risk assessment approaches, asbestos register and asbestos management plan
• Working safely in areas where asbestos containing materials are present
• Information on health and safety requirements for working with asbestos
• Control measures required for the safe removal of asbestos
• Emergency procedures – Dealing with Asbestos incidents.
