The Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers Online Training Course is designed to minimise the risk when working with asbestos, understanding the responsibilities of architects and designers according to legislation.
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 covers 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.
This course consists of 5 modules and brings a specific module aimed at architects and designers working with buildings that may contain asbestos. It provides information about the legislation governing asbestos and outlines the responsibilities of architects and designers.
On successful completion of the course you will obtain a certificate. Your certificate will be available to download as soon as you have passed your course.
The Asbestos Awareness course is accredited by the CPD Certification Service and the certificate will show the accreditation by The Independent Asbestos Training Providers IATP
