Asbestos Awareness and Safe Removal Management

Older factories, schools, hospitals and mine buildings across the region still hold asbestos in roof sheeting, lagging and floor tiles, and uncontrolled maintenance or demolition work releases fibres that cause disease decades later. This course builds the knowledge to locate suspect materials, manage them in place and oversee removal by competent contractors. It focuses on the duty holder role rather than hands on stripping.
