Asbestos is a natural non-flammable, flexible, durable and malleable material which has been used in construction for centuries. However, in recent years, working with Asbestos has been linked with severe health risks. When disturbed, asbestos releases fibres into the air. If then inhaled, these fibres can cause serious and sometimes fatal lung diseases (for example, Mesothelioma, Asbestos-related lung cancer, Asbestosis and Pleural thickening). These diseases can take decades to develop and as Asbestos was not banned in the UK until late 1999, any employee who worked in buildings built before this date, could be at risk.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), asbestos kills 20 tradesmen every week in the UK.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous material that has been a popular building material for centuries. Breathing in air containing asbestos fibres can lead to asbestos-related diseases including Mesothelioma, Asbestos-related lung cancer, Asbestosis and Pleural thickening.
This Asbestos Awareness Course from Courses123, effectively describes what Asbestos is, explains the different types of Asbestos and where it can be found. It highlights the health risks associated with working with Asbestos Containing Material (ACMs) and describes how it can be safely managed in the workplace.
It provides users with the knowledge needed to identify the presence of asbestos, the different types of asbestos and the health risks associated with exposure to asbestos. Delegates will understand the importance of current legislation (The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012) and the need for safe working practices.

This course is a must for everyone in the construction industry. I was aware of asbestos in the workplace but this hammered it home.

Very informative. Although awareness is always there, it is always good to have issues and dangers reviewed just to highlight the severity
