BOHS/OHTA W504 - Asbestos and other fibres

Description

Syllabus/Course Structure and Assessment

The main subject areas of the course are:

• Asbestos and other Fibrous Materials.
• Health Hazards and Exposure Limits.
• Asbestos in Buildings and Conducting Surveys.
• Asbestos Remediation and Assessment Prior to Reoccupation.
• Air Sampling and Fibre Counting.
• Analysis for Bulk Samples.

This is an international qualification, so UK legislation is not covered in great detail, (unlike in the previous S301 course). The course enhances the delegate's knowledge of occupational hygiene practice in relation to fibrous dusts. The module concentrates on asbestos but also covers other fibres which are increasingly finding uses in industry, e.g. MMMF, aramids, etc.
