Course Content

Introduction
Welcome to your Asbestos Awareness training. In this course, you’ll work through a series of short modules designed to give you a clear understanding of what asbestos is, where it can be found, and the risks it presents. You’ll learn how to recognise potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), understand the health implications of exposure, and know what steps to take if you encounter it in the workplace. You’ll need to complete each slide before moving on, and there will be a short assessment at the end to check your understanding. The goal is simple, give you the knowledge to stay safe and avoid disturbing asbestos, not to carry out work on it.
