Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers

Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers Online Course

Asbestos is perhaps the most dangerous building material ever used. Every year, thousands of people become ill and die due to exposure to asbestos, which was extensively used by the construction industry until the year 2000.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) applies to employers, employees, self-employed individuals, and duty holders, encompassing all work involving asbestos-containing materials. Regulation 10 of CAR mandates that every employer must ensure that employees who may be exposed to asbestos receive adequate information, instruction, and training. This requirement extends to maintenance workers and others who may encounter or disturb asbestos.

In addition to educating candidates about the hazards of working with asbestos, the course will provide information to help them identify asbestos-containing materials, understand where it was used, outline steps to minimize risks, and explore the relevant legislation governing asbestos work.

Each module concludes with multiple-choice questions that candidates must answer correctly to pass the course. They will have three attempts to achieve the perfect score, with the opportunity to review all answers at the end of each module before submitting their final responses.
