Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers

Course information

Asbestos is probably the most dangerous building material ever used. Every year thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to asbestos and it was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) apply to employers, employees, self-employed persons and duty holders and cover all work with asbestos containing materials. Regulation 10 of CAR states that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.

As well as informing candidates about the risks of working with asbestos, the course will deliver content to help them recognise asbestos containing materials, make them aware of where it was used, include steps they can take to minimise the risks and discuss the legislation that applies to working with asbestos.

Each module is rounded off with several multiple-choice questions, candidates are required to get 100% on these tests to pass the course. They have the opportunity to review all the answers at the end of each module before final submission and will be given 3 attempts to achieve the required result.

Target Audience

The Asbestos Awareness for Architects and Designers course covers the same subjects as our Asbestos Awareness course with an additional module aimed specifically at architects and designers working with buildings that may contain asbestos. It provides information about the legislation governing asbestos in work and outlines the responsibilities of architects and designers.

Advantages

Being aware of the products that are likely to contain asbestos and the risks associated with them give workers and supervisors the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos. The course is approved by leading industry bodies ROSPA and the IATP.

Online training is flexible, efficient and cost effective meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training in around their work and personal life.

Wutan Coronavirus outbreak – keep safe and stop the spread!

Wutan Coronavirus has hit the headlines in the past few weeks, and has caused devastating effects in areas of China such as Wutan which has been hit the hardest with this new and deadly virus strain.

Yesterday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the Coronavirus as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern at level 4 – meaning that the worldwide public have been warned against travelling to China, and those in affected Chinese areas are stranded in the infectious conditions. Reports today claim that two people in the UK are now affected by the virus.

In the past week there have been traces of the virus found in over 18 countries among 98 people – meaning that this deadly virus has the potential to travel all over the world and cause a devastating effect across the entire globe.

The most dangerous thing about global viruses is their ability to spread like wildfire – and it is important for us to play our part in minimising the devastating effects of this disease in its early stages.  

The best course of action for the average person is simply to avoid spreading the disease further, as Coronavirus is transmitted via respiratory droplets which are produced when a person coughs or sneezes.

We have a variety of items on our Ajuda shop which are designed to limit the transmission of these types of viruses – which are easy to order and high quality for a reasonable price. Please note all orders will include VAT, and there’s also a £10 postage charge.

Face Mask Type 1 – Reliance FFP2 Face Masks

These are our highest quality and most protective facemasks we have on offer on our online store and is described as a “Protective mask for biohazard protection.”

Using one of these masks will create a barrier around your mouth so that the infection has no way of getting in and being transmitted.

This pack includes 20 masks.

Price: £24.47

Face Mask Type 2 – Reliance Non-Woven Face Masks

These masks are designed for lightweight general use, and are described as “Disposable masks for general protection”.

In comparison to our other masks, they will not provide as effective a level of protection from Coronavirus, but are an affordable option for those who would like peace of mind.

This pack includes 50 masks.

Price: £8.11

Alcohol Hand Sanitiser

Keeping your hands clean is another top tip to slow the spread of coronavirus, as a lot of infections are spread through our hands when we touch one another or objects such as door handles and public-use buttons.

This hand sanitiser is effective within 30 seconds of application, and contains 70% denatured ethanol with emollient.

This pack contains 24 bottles of 100ml sanitiser.

Price: £73.57

Time to change, Time To Talk day 2020

Nowadays, around 1 in 4 people experience mental health problems. That is a good enough reason to end the stigma around it. Join us and support Time To Talk Day on 6th February 2020. Help us fight the discrimination of people touched by mental illness!

What it is all about?

This day was created to raise awareness about the mental health problems and help to end the stigma around this topic. Many people claim that that stigma and discrimination are as damaging, or more damaging, than the symptoms of their mental health problem. This year we use ‘Would you rather?’ game to spread the importance of conversations about the mental health. By getting people talk about it we can help break down stereotypes connected with the issue that affects us all. This day is a perfect opportunity to gather around your family and friends and encourage them to talk about their problems.

How can you help?

Did you ever think that chatting with a person who suffers from a mental illness can actually save a life? If not, it is time for you to do something about it because you can change someone’s life with a short conversation. Just be there for them. Let them talk and you just listen to them.

It is often the thing that they need the most to feel valued and cared about. They need you to listen to them and not to rush them. Let them finish. Then ask some additional question to better understand how they are feeling. Help them get rid off the burden they were carrying for this whole time.

After having a conversation, try to signpost them to the closest organisation which can help them. There are some examples of support services:

Ajuda for mental health

The topic of mental health is extremally important for our company as we focus on educating people to save lives. You can save lives not only by helping people with their physical problems but most importantly you can save lives by talking with people and listening to them. This way you can help them with more complicated psychological issues.

To highlight the importance of the mental health and to increase the awareness about this topic we created a separate full-day event. Mental Health & Wellbeing Show is taking place on 21st of May 2020 in Cardiff City Stadium. This is the show dedicated to mental health and aiming to promote positive mental health through open conversation, promoting awareness and sharing real-life experiences. Our seminar speakers focus on topics such as coping with mental illness, ways to promote positive mental health, and how to support people around you who are suffering with ill mental health. Apart from the seminars, there will also be an open exhibition with over 60 charities, organisations and companies promoting their helpful resources, services and initiatives all focused on supporting mental health and wellbeing.
