Why Is Asbestos Management Training for Buildings Important?

Anyone responsible for housing built or refurbished before 1999 must be able to locate and monitor any asbestos-containing materials on their premises. Missed duties expose residents to harm and create costly legal and reputational risks.

Our IIRSM-approved Asbestos Management Training for Buildings gives duty holders in the property and housing sectors a clear overview of what the law expects and how to support safe, compliant maintenance.

The Asbestos Management Training for Buildings course outlines key responsibilities under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, explains how survey findings feed into a current asbestos register and shows how basic risk scores guide proportionate control measures. Learners also review how to build an asbestos management plan and share essential information with contractors and residents.

With this awareness in place, housing teams can keep records accurate, spot when specialist input is required and reduce the likelihood of unplanned exposure incidents and enforcement action.
