New Online Course: Asbestos Management Training for Buildings
We’re pleased to introduce Asbestos Management Training for Buildings. This online course is designed to help professionals in the housing sector effectively manage asbestos risks in their properties.
This IIRSM-approved training provides landlords, estate managers and housing officers with a clear understanding of managing asbestos in domestic properties. It explores different scenarios and the relevant legal requirements, with practical advice on what to do after asbestos is found. This includes the principles of asbestos assessments and how to ensure safety and compliance through proportional control measures.
The course also explains what to document to prove compliance, and offers advice on communicating risks to tenants and contractors.
Why Is Asbestos Management Training for Buildings Important?
Asbestos remains a hazard for organisations managing properties built or refurbished before 1999. Allowing an occupant or contractor to be exposed to asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) presents significant financial and legal risks for the duty holder, as well as severe health concerns for those exposed.
Asbestos Management Training for Buildings helps address these risks. It explains the multiple laws governing asbestos in housing stock and provides clear guidance on actions needed to protect occupants.
With this knowledge in place, duty holders can make more informed decisions on asbestos management plans, strengthening compliance and helping to preserve the long-term value and safety of housing assets.
