Asbestos Awareness Blanchardstown: online training and instant certification.

Asbestos Awareness requirements in Blanchardstown

Blanchardstown has grown from a small village to one of Ireland's largest suburban centres, with a deep stock of older housing, schools, the hospital and business parks where asbestos can be hidden. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) requires all employers to provide appropriate Asbestos Awareness Training to employees whose work could disturb asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

This legal requirement applies to all businesses in Dublin 15, from the major retailers at Blanchardstown Centre to small local businesses, and from healthcare facilities to industrial premises in the business parks.

Construction, trades and maintenance

Blanchardstown's constant renovation and refurbishment means builders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters and roofers regularly work on older premises. They can disturb insulating board, lagging, asbestos cement and Artex, so they need to recognise these materials and know exactly what to do if they find them.

Our online course allows tradespeople to complete their training around busy schedules, without taking time off for classroom sessions.

Asbestos is the single biggest cause of work-related deaths in Ireland and the UK. Recognising likely ACMs and following STOP-CHECK-REPORT is the best protection for Blanchardstown workers.

Connolly Hospital and public buildings

Connolly Hospital, schools and other public buildings in Dublin 15 include parts built before 2000 where ACMs may be present in ceiling voids, risers, plant rooms and around old pipework. Estates, maintenance and facilities staff are most likely to disturb them during repairs, so awareness training is essential before any such work.

Our course teaches these teams to recognise likely ACMs, check the asbestos register and survey, and follow STOP-CHECK-REPORT before any work that could disturb them.

Industrial, tech and retail premises

Blanchardstown's business parks, the shopping centre and surrounding units include older buildings that can contain asbestos cement roofs, AIB partitions and floor tiles. From Ballycoolin to Rosemount, maintenance and facilities staff carrying out repairs, shopfitting or alterations need awareness training to recognise suspect materials and stop work safely rather than risk disturbing them.
