Courses cover the types and properties of asbestos, the health effects of exposure, where asbestos-containing materials are typically found, and what to do if you suspect you have found or disturbed them. Awareness training does not qualify you to work on asbestos, and HSE guidance expects a refresher every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/asbestos-awareness\" style=\"color:#3d8b40;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;\"\u003eAsbestos Awareness courses\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ukata-asbestos-awareness\" style=\"color:#3d8b40;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;\"\u003eUKATA Asbestos Awareness range\u003c\/a\u003e or the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/asbestos-courses\" style=\"color:#3d8b40;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;\"\u003eAsbestos training range\u003c\/a\u003e, or see every \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/training-courses-in-staffordshire-uk\" style=\"color:#3d8b40;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;\"\u003etraining course in Staffordshire\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ukata-asbestos-awareness-newcastle-under-lyme","title":"UKATA Asbestos Awareness in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire (Classroom)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the UKATA Asbestos Awareness Course?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA half-day asbestos awareness course, accredited by UKATA or IATP, that meets the legal training duty for anyone whose work could foreseeably disturb asbestos-containing materials.
