Asbestos is often refers to a group of naturally occurring mineral fibers known for their strength and resistance to heat and chemicals. Historically, asbestos was widely used in construction materials for insulation, fireproofing, and soundproofing. The three most common types found in Ireland are chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), and crocidolite (blue asbestos).
Despite its useful properties, asbestos poses serious health risks if its fibers are inhaled, potentially causing lung diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis. These risks arise when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, releasing fibers into the air
This comprehensive asbestos awareness course provides an understanding of asbestos, its history, and its properties. Trainees will explore the health risks, common uses, and materials containing asbestos, along with guidance on identifying and managing asbestos in buildings. The course also covers key legislation and best practices for asbestos management and surveys.
The Asbestos Awareness Course is designed solely to provide awareness and understanding of the risks associated with asbestos and the management obligations as required by the legislation. This course is not intended for individuals who are directly engaged in the containment, disturbance, removal, storage, transportation, or disposal of high and/or low grade Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs).
