Frequently Asked Questions - Irish Asbestos Awareness
Under Irish law, any employee whose work is liable to disturb asbestos containing materials (ACMs) - in any building, plant or structure built or refurbished before 2000 - needs appropriate Asbestos Awareness Training before that work begins.
Roles that need Asbestos Awareness Training:
- Construction workers, demolition operatives and site supervisors
- Electricians, plumbers, gas fitters and HVAC engineers
- Carpenters, joiners, painters, decorators and roofers
- Maintenance staff, caretakers and facilities teams
- Surveyors, asbestos consultants and licensed asbestos removal staff
- Council inspectors, housing officers and property managers
- Warehouse, factory and agri-food workers in older buildings (pre-2000)
- Anyone whose work could disturb Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) - lagging, ceiling tiles, asbestos cement, floor tiles, gaskets, sprayed coatings or textured coatings
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006 and 2010 (SI 386/2006, SI 589/2010) and Regulation 10 of CAR 2006 place a clear duty on employers to provide accredited Asbestos Awareness Training to every worker likely to come into contact with ACMs in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick or anywhere across Ireland.
Yes. Our Asbestos Awareness Course is CPD Certified and RoSPA Approved, fully compliant with:
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
- the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006 (SI 386/2006) and the 2010 amendment (SI 589/2010)
- Regulation 10 of CAR 2006 governing asbestos awareness training duties
- the HSA Asbestos Code of Practice on safe systems of work and the Plan of Work
The certificate is accepted by HSA inspectors and employers across Ireland, the UK and the EU.
Your Asbestos Awareness Certificate confirms you have completed training in:
- What asbestos is - the six fibre types and why exposure is dangerous
- Where ACMs are found in Irish buildings built before 2000 (ceiling tiles, insulation boards, pipe lagging, cement products, textured coatings, roofing)
- Asbestos-Related diseases - mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer and pleural plaques
- Irish asbestos legislation - CAR 2006, SI 386/2006, SI 589/2010 and EU Directive 2023/2668
- Correct RPE and PPE - FFP3 masks, Type 5 disposable coveralls, gloves and overshoes
- The STOP-CHECK-REPORT procedure for suspected ACMs and reporting exposure to the HSA
It demonstrates to your employer that you understand the hierarchy of control for asbestos exposure and the requirements of Irish HSA guidance.
Yes. The Asbestos Awareness Course is suitable for anyone who may encounter asbestos-containing materials at work, even occasionally. Regulation 10 of CAR 2006 requires anyone whose work is liable to disturb ACMs - builders, demolition workers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, maintenance staff, caretakers and facilities teams - to receive adequate asbestos awareness training before starting the job. The course teaches you how to recognise likely ACMs, avoid disturbing them and follow the STOP-CHECK-REPORT procedure if you suspect asbestos.
Our Online Asbestos Awareness Course covers the theory and awareness required for most workplace roles - how to recognise asbestos containing materials, understand the health risks, follow STOP-CHECK-REPORT and the basics of PPE and RPE such as FFP3 masks and Type 5 coveralls.
Asbestos awareness training does not qualify you to remove, repair or work directly with asbestos. If your role involves higher-risk work that disturbs ACMs, that work must be carried out by trained or licensed asbestos contractors with additional practical certification. Many Irish employers use our course as the foundation and then supplement with role-specific training.
Yes. The course is built around Irish law, specifically:
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (primary legislation)
- the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006 (SI 386/2006) and the 2010 amendment (SI 589/2010)
- Regulation 10 of CAR 2006 - duties on asbestos awareness training, planning and supervision
- the HSA Asbestos Code of Practice on safe systems of work and the Plan of Work
It references CAR 2006 and HSA guidance and enforcement practice throughout, so the material matches exactly what a HSA inspector would expect to see.
Yes. No prior knowledge is required. The Asbestos Awareness Course uses clear language, real Irish workplace examples and visual aids to explain everything from scratch - from what asbestos is and where it hides, through to the health risks, the asbestos register and survey, the STOP-CHECK-REPORT rule and the basics of PPE and RPE. It is designed to be completed successfully by a complete beginner on their first attempt.

Before your certificate expires: We recommend completing a Asbestos Awareness Refresher course to renew your certification. Our Online Asbestos Awareness Course serves as both initial training and refresher - same content, same price, instant new certificate.
Certificates issued by Irish Asbestos Awareness include a unique certificate number that employers can verify. Learners across Dublin and Ireland can present their Asbestos Awareness Certificate Online confidently to any employer.
A Asbestos Awareness Refresher is a renewal course taken when your Asbestos Awareness Certificate approaches expiry (every 3 years). It ensures your knowledge of safe asbestos handling practices and workplace safety regulations remains current and compliant.
What the Asbestos Awareness Refresher covers:
- Recognising ACMs - refresh how to spot likely asbestos containing materials
- Risk assessment - identify and avoid hazards

- Best practices - learn any updates to safety standards

- Every 3 years - the standard renewal cycle for Asbestos Awareness certification
- Before expiry - don't let your certificate lapse; plan ahead
- Employer requirements - many employers track certificate expiry dates and require timely renewal
- Change of job - some new employers may request fresh training regardless of certificate validity
Good news: Our Online Asbestos Awareness Course serves as both initial training and Asbestos Awareness Refresher. The content covers the same essential material - there is no separate "refresher" product to purchase.

Whether you are new to Asbestos Awareness Training or renewing your certification in Dublin or anywhere in Ireland, the same convenient Online Asbestos Awareness Course applies - complete it anytime, from anywhere.
Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) does not offer a dedicated Asbestos Awareness qualification, so no online Asbestos Awareness Course in Ireland is a genuine "QQI award". If another provider advertises a QQI-accredited Asbestos Awareness certificate, it is worth checking that claim carefully.
What our Asbestos Awareness Course actually holds:
- IATP Accredited - reviewed by the Independent Asbestos Training Providers against recognised asbestos training standards
- CPD Certified - the course is accredited for Continuing Professional Development
- RoSPA Assured - Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has verified our training quality
- HSA Aligned - content follows Health and Safety Authority guidelines for Ireland
Important clarification: Because there is no QQI Asbestos Awareness award, the Asbestos Awareness Certificate you receive is not a QQI certificate. It is backed instead by IATP, CPD and RoSPA accreditation and is widely accepted by employers across Ireland as proof of compliant Asbestos Awareness Training.
Why employers accept our certificate:
- Meets legal requirements under Irish health and safety legislation
- Developed by qualified professionals with industry expertise
- Covers all essential content required by HSA guidelines for safe asbestos handling
- Combines clear video modules with a structured online assessment
Thousands of employers throughout Dublin and Ireland recognise the Asbestos Awareness Cert from Irish Asbestos Awareness as valid proof of training completion.
The Asbestos Awareness Course is assessed through a clear online multiple-choice test taken at the end of the theory modules. There is no in-person session and no video submission - everything is completed online from your device.

- 75% pass mark (15 correct answers)
- Instant results - see your score immediately
- Unlimited retakes at no extra cost if you need another try
- No time limit - answer at your own pace
The questions focus on practical, everyday topics: recognising asbestos containing materials, the asbestos register and survey, choosing the right PPE and RPE, the STOP-CHECK-REPORT rule, risk assessment, and your legal duties under Irish law.
As soon as you pass, your Asbestos Awareness Certificate is generated automatically and emailed to you. You can also download it instantly from your account.

Yes. The Asbestos Awareness Course by Irish Asbestos Awareness holds multiple recognised accreditations and certifications:
Our credentials include:
- CPD Certified - Continuing Professional Development accreditation for ongoing professional learning
- RoSPA Assured - The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has verified our training quality
- IATP Accredited - independently reviewed by the Independent Asbestos Training Providers against recognised asbestos training standards
- HSA Aligned - Training follows Health and Safety Authority guidelines for Ireland
Our Asbestos Awareness Training content is designed to meet the requirements of Irish workplace safety legislation, including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006 and 2010 (SI 386/2006, SI 589/2010) .
Employers throughout Dublin and across Ireland recognise and accept the Asbestos Awareness Certificate from Irish Asbestos Awareness as proof of compliant training. Our certification is also widely accepted in the UK and EU.
Yes, it is a legal requirement. Irish law places a clear duty on employers to assess asbestos exposure risks and provide proper Asbestos Awareness Training to every employee whose work could disturb Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) - whether they realise it or not.
Key Irish legislation includes:
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 - requires employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of every employee at work
- Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006 (SI 386/2006) and the 2010 amendment (SI 589/2010) - cover the asbestos register, Asbestos Management Plan, written asbestos risk assessment, the Plan of Work, Permit-to-Work, RPE/PPE selection, decontamination, training records and HSA notification of ACMs
- Regulation 10 of CAR 2006 / SHWWA (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations - any worker liable to come into contact with ACMs must receive accredited Asbestos Awareness Training before starting the work and at least every 3 years
- HSA Asbestos Code of Practice - the Health and Safety Authority's detailed guidance on safe systems of work, training and the Plan of Work
Employer obligations: identify ACMs through a Type 1 / Type 2 / Type 3 asbestos survey, maintain the asbestos register and Asbestos Management Plan, apply the hierarchy of control (eliminate, substitute, engineer, administrative controls, PPE/RPE), issue the right respiratory protection (FFP3, half-mask P3 or powered air, with face-fit testing where required), and keep training records. Non-compliance can result in HSA enforcement notices, prosecution and fines under the SHWWA 2005.
Industries that legally require Asbestos Awareness Training in Ireland: construction, demolition, refurbishment, electrical, plumbing, gas, HVAC, roofing, painting and decorating, carpentry, joinery, surveying, asbestos consultancy, licensed asbestos removal, council inspections, housing maintenance, school caretaking, hospital estates, hospitality (older buildings), warehousing, agri-food, telecoms, utilities and any role that may disturb Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) under Regulation 10 of CAR 2006.
Our Online Asbestos Awareness Course helps organisations across Dublin and throughout Ireland meet these legal requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. The Asbestos Awareness Certificate provides documented proof of compliance for HSA inspections.
