Our Asbestos Awareness course is not just informative, but also visually engaging. The course content uses images of UK housing stock and quintessentially British props, such as a one-penny coin, to provide a good understanding of the size of asbestos fibres.
The online asbestos training program has four primary objectives that have been presented in a clear and concise manner, with their order being crucial to the learning process. The first objective is to demonstrate how microscopic asbestos fibres can harm the human body, which has no natural defence against them. The second objective is to explain the various diseases and death rates caused by inhaling asbestos fibres. The third objective focuses on the Asbestos Prohibitions 1985, 1999 and 2000 and informs candidates that asbestos is a banned substance and that regulations must be followed when working in all premises built before 2000. Finally, the fourth objective is to provide a detailed pictorial section on common products that may contain asbestos, which people might come across in the workplace.
As bullet points, the four primary objectives for this online Asbestos Awareness course are:
- To illustrate the tiny size of the microscopic fibres and show the lack of natural defence the human body has against them.
- To explain some of the diseases and death rates caused by inhaling asbestos fibres.
- To make candidates aware that asbestos is a banned substance and that regulations should be used when working on all premises built before 2000.
- To give a detailed pictorial section on everyday products people may find in the workplace, that contain asbestos.
The main benefit of taking our online Asbestos Awareness course is recognising asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). It’s all very well knowing that asbestos is a killer, but if you can't recognise and identify asbestos-containing materials, there’s a good chance that you might inadvertently disturb them.
Learning about the microscopic size of asbestos fibres and the fact that the human body has no natural defence against these particles teaches candidates why asbestos is known as the hidden killer.
Our Asbestos Awareness course teaches candidates to safeguard their health and well-being by not disturbing any materials they think contain asbestos. It makes them aware of some diseases and death rates caused by inhaling asbestos fibres.
The Asbestos Awareness course is designed:
- To help staff identify what ACMs (Asbestos Containing Materials) look like.
- To use visual aids to show how minute and invisible to the human eye asbestos particles are.
- To make staff aware of some diseases and death rates caused by inhaling asbestos fibres.
At HSE Docs, we design all our health and safety courses to cater to learners of all abilities, which sets us apart from many of our competitors.
Imagine a student learning in a classroom where English is their second language. In such a scenario, if students don't understand a concept or explanation, they can always raise their hand and ask the teacher for help. However, online training doesn't usually provide this option, so we have created our health and safety courses that are easy to understand and accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. Some considerations we give to delivering our training includes:
- Easy to read font: black on a light background with good contrast to make it accessible to people with visual impairments or colour blindness.
- Narration that mirrors that text so that people whose first language isn’t English don’t have to struggle with two different contents.
- Three different narrators for each module to encourage learner engagement and memory retention.
- Using animated characters as teachers so students are less likely to see these characters as coming from specific racial or socioeconomic backgrounds, creating ethically sound online training with no forms of discrimination or negative stereotypes.
- Online training that is succinct and to the point with no padding and is delivered with a slow and clear narrative.
- Content that reflects the student's legal training requirements and learning needs.
- Asbestos awareness content that is current, up to date, and references current legislation regarding asbestos awareness training.
- An intuitive learning assessment at the end of each training module that comprises relevant questions with multiple-choice answers.
- The ability to watch any learning module repeatedly.
- An instantly downloadable certificate on successful completion of the Asbestos awareness course.
It is a legal obligation for employers to provide adequate information, instruction, and training to all employees who may be exposed to asbestos. This includes tradespeople, teachers, doctors, office staff, and anyone else who works in a building that may contain asbestos. Asbestos Awareness training is mandatory for all employees who work in buildings constructed before 2000 because a lack of knowledge in the past has led to countless people contracting diseases and dying from inadvertently inhaling asbestos fibres.
We often think that it’s just construction workers who come into contact with asbestos-containing materials, but it can be anyone who works in an older building that hasn’t had asbestos awareness training.
Using teachers as an example and looking at the evidence compiled by the British Occupational Hygiene Society and recorded statistics by the HSE, the evidence shows that the UK has the highest asbestos-related death rate for teachers in the world.
Between 2011 and 2020, 111 teachers died from mesothelioma and thousands more have been left with debilitating asbestos-related diseases.
And that is just teachers. If we expand the statistics to all people in the UK, we find that there are about 5000 asbestos-related deaths a year, so we believe that asbestos awareness training is essential for all.
It is important to note that our online training course is not intended to qualify individuals to work with asbestos but to make them aware of its dangers and where it may be found. The course is designed to educate candidates about the potential hazards of asbestos and to help them avoid disturbing it at all costs. It's the responsibility of employers to ensure that their employees who are likely to be exposed to asbestos receive adequate information, instruction, and training. This includes tradespeople and individuals from other professions, such as teachers, doctors, office staff, and anyone else who works in a building that may contain asbestos.
It is important to note that Asbestos Awareness training is necessary for all employees working in buildings constructed before 2000. This training makes staff aware of asbestos-containing materials and minimises the risk of exposure.
The course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with asbestos exposure and help employees take necessary precautions to prevent it.
The asbestos awareness training course is carefully structured into three modules, each containing informative and engaging content. After completing each module, you must take a multiple-choice Q&A section to test your understanding of the material. To progress to the next module, you must achieve a minimum score of 85% in each Q&A section. If you fail a module, you will have unlimited access to the course material until you reach the required standard. Upon completing the course, you will instantly receive an internationally recognised training certificate, which will attest to your knowledge of asbestos and its associated risks.
It's crucial to verify the authenticity of our health and safety course certificates. This can be done by clicking on Validate a Certificate and entering the unique certificate number.
The complex certificate background pattern and validation service we offer deter people from using photo editing software to create forged certificates by changing their names and expiry dates.
