Who must manage asbestos, who may work on it and what training the law in Ireland requires.
The asbestos control limit is 0.01 fibres per cubic centimetre of air, averaged over eight hours. It is a ceiling that must never be exceeded, not a safe level, and employers must reduce exposure as far below it as is reasonably practicable.

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review. One last thing, friend to friend: scammers have recently created a website with a name very similar to ours. Our official name is Ireland Safety Training, while a website called "Ireland Safety Courses" has appeared in Google Ads. It is not affiliated with us in any way. Our lawyers are already collecting the necessary evidence and preparing legal proceedings. Until then, please stay careful and always verify who you are dealing with.

Stop work at once, keep everyone out of the area and do not sweep or vacuum the dust. Report it to the person in charge. If dust is on your clothes, do not shake them: stay put, and have the clothing bagged and yourself cleaned down under the advice of a competent person.
Anyone whose work could disturb the fabric of a building or expose them to asbestos, and those who supervise them: electricians, plumbers, heating engineers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, roofers, demolition and maintenance workers, cable and alarm installers, caretakers and surveyors.
Every year is the accepted practice in the construction and maintenance trades. The law requires training to be given at regular intervals and kept up to date, and the refresher can be shorter than the first course.

For individuals, the asbestos awareness certificate is an essential credential for any construction or maintenance CV, and one that many Irish sites now treat as non negotiable.
Every module of our asbestos awareness course is written by licensed, Chartered (CMIOSH) health and safety consultants with NFQ Level 6 and QQI Level 6 qualifications and years of front line experience in Irish workplaces. You are not learning from a random voiceover; you are learning from some of the most qualified safety professionals in the country.
The asbestos awareness training blends clear theory, HD video, real photographs of asbestos containing materials and interactive quizzes. You will learn to recognise asbestos cement roofs, textured coatings, floor tiles, pipe lagging and insulation boards, and you will know exactly what to do the moment something suspicious appears on a job. Real Irish examples make every lesson memorable and practical.
The content is reviewed regularly against the latest Irish and European legislation and HSA guidance, so the asbestos awareness course you take today always reflects current best practice.

If your work could disturb the fabric of any building built before 2000, you legally need asbestos awareness training. SI 386/2006 requires every Irish employer to train workers who could be exposed to asbestos, and the HSA checks this during inspections.
In real life, the people who complete our asbestos awareness course are general construction workers, demolition and strip out crews, electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, carpenters and joiners, painters and decorators, roofers, caretakers, facility maintenance staff, telecoms installers and self employed tradespeople who need proof of training for site inductions, tenders and insurers.
Asbestos was used in Irish buildings right up to the year 2000, so the odds of meeting it on the job are far higher than most people think. If in doubt, take the course, and our friendly Irish team is one message away if you want to double check which courses fit your duties best.
Who must manage asbestos, who may work on it and what training the law in Ireland requires.
The control limit for asbestos is 0.01 fibres per cubic centimetre of air, averaged over eight hours. It is not a safe level. It is the concentration that must never be exceeded, and the duty is to reduce exposure as far below it as is reasonably practicable.
The Irish limit was cut tenfold, from 0.1 to 0.01, on 21 December 2025. From 21 December 2029 thinner fibres will be counted as well, using electron microscopy. If the limit is exceeded, or unidentified asbestos is disturbed, work must stop at once until the cause is found and put right.
Protective equipment is the last line of defence. The fibres are first controlled at the source by wetting the material, using hand tools and vacuuming with a class H vacuum cleaner. An ordinary dust mask gives no protection against asbestos, and used coveralls and masks are disposed of as asbestos waste.
Under the Exposure to Asbestos Regulations 2006 to 2025, before any demolition, maintenance or renovation work on premises built before 31 December 2004 an Irish employer must take all necessary steps to identify materials presumed to contain asbestos, from the owner and from existing registers, and where no information is available must have a survey carried out by a competent person.
The Exposure to Asbestos Regulations 2006 to 2025 require training for every employee who is, or is likely to be, exposed to asbestos: at the start of employment, at regular intervals and whenever the work changes. It is given by a competent person, and the certificate must state the date, the duration, the content and the language of the training and who gave it.
Awareness training is for avoiding asbestos. People who will work on it need further, task specific training.
Before any work that could disturb the fabric of a building, find out whether asbestos is present.
Asbestos that stays in place is recorded, labelled, checked and made known to anyone who could disturb it.
Anyone whose work could disturb asbestos must have awareness training.
The accredited Asbestos Awareness Course covers what asbestos is, where it is found and what to do if you come across it, in about an hour online, with a CPD certified certificate the moment you pass.
