Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction and manufacturing due to its durability and heat resistance. However, it is now recognised as a serious health hazard.
The Asbestos Awareness course is will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to identify, asbestos-containing materials safely, helping to prevent dangerous exposure, protect human health, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
Construction activities frequently generate dust that can pose serious health risks if not properly controlled. Materials such as concrete, brick, stone, mortar, wood, and plaster can release harmful airborne dust when cut, drilled, ground, or disturbed.
This course provides awareness of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) and other construction dust hazards, explaining how exposure occurs, the health effects associated with dust inhalation, and the key control measures required to reduce risk.
The training supports the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations and highlights individual and organisational responsibilities for managing dust safely in the workplace.
Safe ladder use starts with informed decisions.
Ladders are widely used across many workplaces, yet they remain a leading cause of serious injury when used incorrectly. This course provides practical, risk-based training for workers who use ladders as part of their role, helping them recognise hazards, make safe decisions, and comply with UK health and safety legislation.
The course focuses on real-world ladder use rather than theory alone. Learners will explore common accident scenarios, understand how and why incidents occur, and develop the knowledge and judgement needed to select, set up, and use ladders safely in a range of working environments.
This training is suitable for employees, contractors, and supervisors who may use ladders or oversee work at height.
Every day, countless individuals encounter substances that, while essential to various tasks and processes, pose potential risks to health if not handles properly. From industrial chemicals to everyday cleaning agents, hazardous substances are present in many workplaces. Understanding how to manage these substances safely is crucial.
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations are designed to protect people in the workplace from health risks associated with hazardous substances. Compliance isn’t just about following the law, it’s about fostering a safe and healthy environment for you and your colleagues.
Note:
Whilst this course will provide awareness training in relation to hazardous substances, additional support may be required dependent on the nature of your organisation, the task performed and the environment in which you operate.
COSHH does not cover asbestos, lead or radiation as these are regulated seperately
