Asbestos Awareness Course Written Line by Line Against Irish Law
Asbestos fibres cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, and the illness usually appears decades after the exposure. Its use has been banned in Ireland since 1999, but it is still sitting in buildings and plant installed before 2000. This Asbestos Awareness Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.
The awareness course Irish trades actually finish, because it teaches recognition through photographs of real materials in real buildings. It does not qualify you to work with asbestos, and we say so plainly.
- Exposure to Asbestos Regulations 2006, as amended 2010
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
- Asbestos register and survey duties
The three rules that shape your training
-
2006 Regulations
Identify it before work starts
Employers must identify whether asbestos is present before work begins, assess the risk of exposure, and give information, instruction and training to anyone liable to be exposed.
-
Section 13
Stop, and report it
If you suspect a material contains asbestos you must stop, avoid disturbing it further, keep others out and report it. That single decision prevents most exposures.
-
