Asbestos may be banned in the UK, but it is still present in millions of buildings constructed before the year 2000. This means employees across construction, maintenance, facilities, warehousing, logistics and many other industries are still at risk of encountering asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) during their everyday work.
As an employer, providing asbestos awareness training is essential for protecting staff and complying with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. At TL Training, we deliver asbestos awareness courses nationwide at customer premises and at our dedicated training centre in Bromborough, Wirral.
Here’s why businesses across the UK trust our asbestos awareness training to keep their teams safe, informed and legally compliant.
Why Asbestos Awareness Training Matters
Every week in the UK, tradespeople and workers are still unknowingly exposed to asbestos. Even minimal exposure can lead to life-threatening conditions such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.
Asbestos awareness training helps employees:
- Understand what asbestos is and why it is dangerous
- Recognise where asbestos may be found in the workplace
- Learn how to avoid disturbing ACMs
- Know what steps to take if asbestos is accidentally discovered
- Understand their responsibilities under UK law
This type of training provides knowledge only. It does not qualify workers to remove or handle asbestos—but it plays a vital role in preventing accidental exposure.
Nationwide On-Site Training for UK Businesses
One of the reasons so many employers choose our asbestos awareness training is the ability to deliver courses directly at their premises anywhere in the UK. This flexible approach ensures minimal disruption to operations while giving employees practical, relevant training in their own working environment.
