IATP Asbestos Awareness

Course Overview

Asbestos Awareness courses have become commonplace in the last decade, mainly due to the amount of asbestos still contained in building across the U.K and the entire world. While asbestos can be safe as long as it is undisturbed, any maintenance work in an area containing asbestos can lead to life-ending problems for the workers in the future.

Please note, Asbesto Awareness training is not suitable for any level of interaction with Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM's). Please refer to our IATP Asbestos Non Licensable Work with Asbestos for further training support.
