Dust Awareness Training Online Course

Overview

While dust may not seem to pose a significant risk to health, it can be very dangerous for a number of reasons. Often, dust is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be detected without a dust lamp. This allows it to travel deep into the lungs and cause significant damage. Also, it can be difficult to control without dedicated equipment such as a dust extraction system.

Failing to implement appropriate control measures can result in long-term exposure to dust, which has serious negative health effects and cause damage to lung tissue. This can significantly affect lung function, and highlights the importance of understanding dust and implementing effective dust control measures.

After completing this course, learners will:

• Understand the dangers of dust exposure in the workplace.
• Be aware of the regulations surrounding dust.
• Understand the main methods used to prevent and control exposure to dust.

This course certificate has no expiry date because there is no formally recognised period of validity for any health and safety training or this type of course. The HSE recommends refresher training is carried out whenever it is felt necessary. Safety registration bodies such as CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLine & SMAS and other members of the SSiP scheme recommend most re-training is done every 3 years. We would recommend refreshing knowledge as and when legislation or guidance changes applicable to these regulations.
