online course can help YOU avoid coming into contact with this deadly substance both at home
Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002 (COSHH) regulations, employers
have a legal duty to provide adequate control of employees’ exposure to harmful substances in
the workplace.
Regulation 10 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 states that any employee liable to be
exposed to asbestos must be given adequate information, instruction and training to ensure
they can safeguard themselves and other employees and carry out their work effectively. This
level of training is known as Category A Asbestos Awareness training.
Specific responsibilities under The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 include:
ï‚· Assessing the risk of anyone being exposed to fibres from these materials.
ï‚· Preventing exposure to the fibre or, where not possible, make sure it is kept as low as
reasonably practicable.
ï‚· Keeping an up to date written record of the location and condition of any asbestos
materials or presumed asbestos-containing materials.
ï‚· Ensuring written records are sufficient to allow another person to identify the materials.
ï‚· Keeping exposure below a certain control limit.
ï‚· Presuming that all materials contain asbestos unless there is evidence to the contrary.
All workers who are likely to disturb asbestos containing materials during their normal work
should be trained so that they can work safely. This Asbestos Awareness (Category A) course
