Description
Asbestos may be hidden behind walls, within service voids or beneath building finishes, making it an important consideration when planning refurbishment, fit-out, demolition or design-led work. High Skills Training’s Asbestos Awareness Training for Architects helps architects and designers recognise where asbestos-related risks can influence design decisions and project planning. The online course explores the UK asbestos legacy, common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), hidden building fabric risks and the boundaries of awareness-level responsibilities. It also introduces key requirements under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015).
Designed for architects, architectural designers, interior designers, building designers, principal designers, design consultants and other construction professionals, the course helps you approach asbestos information with greater confidence. You will explore design-stage duties, the duty to manage asbestos, Regulation 5, client-held asbestos information and cooperation with dutyholders and asbestos specialists. The training also covers asbestos registers, management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys, survey limitations and the importance of having suitable asbestos information before design work progresses.
Good asbestos awareness can make a difference when preparing drawings, specifications and tender information. This online course looks at how asbestos constraints can be reflected in design notes, how to avoid unsafe assumptions and how to communicate relevant information with contractors and other project teams. You will also explore refurbishment and demolition interfaces, opening-up works, unexpected asbestos discoveries, stop-work advice, escalation and design decisions following positive or presumed ACM findings.
High Skills Training makes it easy to complete your learning online, with flexible access designed to fit around your work and project commitments. You can study the modules at your own pace and receive a free digital certificate after completing the course. With 400+ industry-standard CPD courses, a 14-day money-back guarantee and accessible online learning, you can build relevant professional knowledge without disrupting your schedule. Start your Asbestos Awareness Training for Architects today and strengthen your understanding of asbestos considerations across the design process.
