Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers

This course is tailored towards anyone who may come into contact with asbestos in the course of their work, with a special emphasis on the obligations and responsibilities of architects and designers working with buildings that may contain asbestos. As thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to asbestos every year, employers now have a statutory obligation to ensure that employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos receive adequate information, instruction and training in the use of asbestos. Awareness of the products that are likely to contain asbestos and the risks associated with them give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos.
