Posted By Steve99Jones Dear All I have been charged with developing an Asbestos Awareness Course which I can present internally to our staff. I have a reasonable knowledge of the subject and have also successfully completed the BOHS P402 course. I was therefore wondering if anyone would be able to provide me with a structure and a breakdown of contents which I should be covering in the course. Also what is the normal accepted length of such training, the courses I have seen advertised vary from 3 to 6 hours? I am aware that the HSE have a presenters pack but this is currently out of print. Any information/assistance would be gratefully accepted.

Posted By Peter John Orridge I find that an awareness course of about 2.5 hours is about right, any longer and they start switching off. We cover:- why we have a problem with asbestos; the types and uses; where you might find asbestos health effects; Insurance problems; relevant HSE guidance and regulations; If you need any more help email me on pjo60@ntlworld.com
