What Is Asbestos Awareness Training?

Regulation 10 of CAR 2012 requires that anyone liable to disturb asbestos (or who supervises those who may) receives adequate information, instruction, and training. Awareness training provides workers and duty-holders with the knowledge to recognise ACMs, understand the associated health risks, and follow the correct procedures if they encounter asbestos during their work.


What the Training Covers

  • Properties, types, and uses of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials
  • Health effects of asbestos exposure and why it is dangerous
  • Where asbestos is likely to be found in buildings
  • Current regulations and duty-holder obligations under CAR 2012
  • What to do if you encounter or suspect asbestos
  • Emergency procedures and reporting requirements
