Asbestos Awareness is not just a legal requirement—it's a life-saving knowledge base for anyone exposed to asbestos risks in their line of work. This comprehensive Asbestos Awareness Training course is your essential guide to understanding, identifying, and managing asbestos in workplaces, properties, and public spaces. Whether you're a builder, property manager, contractor, engineer, or safety officer, mastering Asbestos Awareness is a must.

With global asbestos-related deaths still estimated at over 90,000 per year, and with exposure risks present in buildings constructed before the 2000s, this Asbestos Awareness course empowers you with critical tools to spot dangers, follow legal protocols, and respond confidently to emergencies.

Unlike general safety training, this course focuses exclusively on Asbestos Awareness, giving you a robust understanding of how asbestos was historically used, where it can still be found, and how to reduce or eliminate the risks it poses to health, legal compliance, and the environment.
