AA05 - Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers

This is an awareness course only and does not train you to work with asbestos containing materials.

AA05 - Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers

Introduction

This syllabus sets out the guidance issued by UKATA for the provision of asbestos awareness training for architects and designers whose work could foreseeably expose them to asbestos, as defined within the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).

This document provides the syllabus for the training along with guidance on the minimum content of all courses. Tutors can offer bespoke or tailored training for the remainder of any training session, but the core content must be adhered to.

Asbestos awareness training is not training to work with any forms of asbestos. It is likely to form the first part of training for work with asbestos, but on its own it is does not meet the legal requirements laid down under CAR 2012.

Occupational Relevance

Architects and designers who may encounter asbestos-containing materials during their regular work activities, particularly in the planning, design, and oversight of building projects. This typically includes, but is not limited to:

Architects involved in the design and renovation of buildings, interior designers working on refurbishments, structural engineers, surveyors assessing building conditions, project managers overseeing construction or demolition projects, landscape architects involved in site development, and any other professionals likely to encounter asbestos-containing materials as defined in CAR 2012 during their architectural and design work.

Learner Pre-requisite

There are no learner pre-requisites as part of this syllabus.

Duration

Minimum of 4 learning hours.
