Why Asbestos Awareness is so Important

Asbestos is a threat to many workers in the construction industry. Its microscopic fibres have dangerous health risks if disturbed, something which can easily occur during construction or maintenance work. This is why it’s vital for workers to be trained up on how to deal with these risks. In this blog post we’ll look further into the importance of asbestos safety training through companies like Acadame

Asbestos awareness training equips workers and supervisors with vital information about the nature, properties, and health effects of asbestos exposure. From the types of asbestos minerals to the heightened risk of lung cancer, especially for smokers working with asbestos, this training creates an awareness crucial for safeguarding health. Our course is tailored for a wide array of professionals involved in construction, maintenance, and related trades. From demolition workers to electricians, plumbers to architects, we cover anyone who is likely to encounter asbestos in their line of work.

The training leads up to a multiple-choice exam which assesses the comprehension of key learning outcomes. Lasting approximately half a day, our course balances comprehensive learning and practicality, ensuring minimal disruption to busy schedules while still providing clear and thorough learning.

Crucially, this training equips participants with strategies needed to help lower asbestos-related risks in the workplace. From recognising asbestos containing materials, to accessing information about their presence before starting work, learners will be taught proactive measures to help minimise exposure and in turn reduce asbestos related injury. Additionally, participants will gain insights into emergency protocols to follow in case of accidental asbestos disturbance.
