Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used.
Every year thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to asbestos and it was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 apply to employers, employees, self employed persons and duty holders and cover all work with asbestos containing materials.
Regulation 10 of 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

According to the HSE, if you will be doing any normal work which could disturb the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos, you will be required to do a suitable level of training appropriate for the work involved.
Our Asbestos Awareness course is designed to give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos. Most commonly, this includes but is not limited to builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, cable installers, decorators, surveyors, architects, designers, engineers and other building related and maintenance trades.
All of our courses are authored by industry experts and quality endorsed by some of the UK’s leading accreditation/approval bodies for Asbestos Awareness, Risk Management and Health & Safety online eLearning courses. When you see the stamps from these awarding bodies on our courses you can be reassured that your courses purchased from OnlineAsbestosCourses have been shown to be of the highest quality.

The latest regulation for Managing and Working with Asbestos is the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 – This regulation states: “Every employer shall ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to those of his employees who are or who are liable to be exposed to asbestos, or who supervise such employees.”
There are 3 Levels of Asbestos Training that is set out in the CAR:
Asbestos Awareness training (Category A)
Asbestos Awareness training is to give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos during any normal work which could disturb the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos. It will not prepare workers, or self-employed contractors, to carry out work with asbestos-containing materials – in this case further training is required. From the HSE Website:
“Online learning (often referred to as e–learning) is increasingly used as a method of providing asbestos awareness training. HSE recognises the use of e-learning as a viable delivery method, among others, for asbestos awareness training, provided it satisfies the requirements of Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the supporting Approved Code of Practice L143 ‘Managing and working with asbestos‘.”
With our ROSPA accredited Asbestos Awareness course, you know that the training your staff will be taking fully complies with all relevant legislation, whilst delivering an engaging, up-to date and hassle free learning experience.
Category B & C
Asbestos awareness will not prepare employees or self-employed contractors to carry out work with Asbestos or Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) (Category B & C – Non-Licensable Work and Licensable Work). Awareness training is only intended to help employees avoid carrying out work that will disturb ACMs. If work is planned that will disturb ACMs, further information, instruction and training appropriate to the work being done will be needed.
You can find further information including a copy of CAR 2012 on the HSE website – https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/index.htm
