Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral which was once used in building materials. Asbestos fibres are very small and can easily be breathed in. When they are inhaled they can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma and other serious diseases such as asbestosis (fibrosis of the lungs), pleural thickening and pleural plaques.
The most effective way to avoid making mistakes is to have knowledge around it. We have developed an easy to understand online course about asbestos which only takes around 1 ½ hours to complete.
This course is suitable for anyone working with or near asbestos products. It will help you understand why asbestos is dangerous, how you can prevent exposure and what you should do if you think you may have been exposed.

Emergency Steps - in case of an asbestos related emergency, find out what steps to take to ensure safety.
Health Risks - what to look for in terms of symptoms, and what health effects can occur from asbestos exposure.
