Why is Asbestos Awareness Training Important?
Asbestos is a highly hazardous substance that can lead to severe and fatal lung diseases when disturbed.
Asbestos was widely used in buildings before being banned in 1999. However, it still exists in structures built before 2000, meaning many workers remain at risk of exposure today. When disturbed, asbestos releases fibres that, if inhaled, can cause life-threatening diseases such as:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Lung cancer
Employers are legally required to ensure their workers receive asbestos awareness training if there’s a risk of disturbing asbestos during their duties. This course ensures that you’re compliant with the law and fully informed about how to protect yourself and others.
