  • What is asbestos?

Legal requirements

There is a legal requirement in the UK, under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, for employers to provide training to employees liable to come into contact with asbestos during their everyday work.

It’s really important to note that if your work is liable to disturb asbestos, not merely encounter it, you will need additional levels of training. Please refer to the HSE for further details.

We also offer online Asbestos Awareness Training

Online/Classroom

The first main distinction is between online and classroom (or face to face) training. Online courses, like the one we offer on this website, are taken on a computer (or tablet or phone) at the candidate’s own pace. The training can be carried out at home or at a place of work, perhaps on an office computer. Online training should be taken individually – candidates wouldn’t sit together and work through an online course as a group. All the course content would be presented to the candidate via the website

Classroom training is usually conducted in a group with a qualified instructor leading the session. The advantages of learning in a classroom environment are that you have an instructor and other participants to ask questions of and discuss the course content with. The disadvantages of classroom training compared with online courses are generally considered to be cost and time – classroom courses can take longer and cost more
