AA01 - Asbestos Awareness

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

AA01 - Asbestos Awareness

Introduction

This syllabus sets out the guidance issued by UKATA for the provision of asbestos awareness training for employees 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

Some learners may require a more developed course which is specific to their area of work such as but not limited to architects and designers, groundworkers, waste and civic amenity site personnel, and marine and offshore workers.

Learner Pre-requisite

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