Asbestos Awareness Training
Asbestos Awareness Training – Online Course looks at how Asbestos was once a widely used material: cheap, strong, fire and water resistant, and sound-absorbent, it was valuable in many applications – from building to automotive manufacturing to a range of fire resistant products.
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral, which exists in various forms, including white, blue and brown asbestos. But what all forms of asbestos have in common is the thin fibers which the substance is made up of. It is these fibers that pose a threat to humans – when the fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious damage to the lungs.
