Why This Course Matters
Invisible particles. Lifelong consequences.
Dust might not seem like a serious hazard — especially when the most dangerous particles can’t be seen — but long-term exposure can lead to severe health issues like asthma, COPD, and lung cancer. Common workplace activities such as cutting, drilling, sanding, and demolishing can release hazardous dust into the air. Because the effects may take years to develop, they are often underestimated or ignored.
This course highlights the silent dangers of dust exposure and provides essential guidance on recognising risks, following safety protocols, and complying with UK regulations to prevent harm before it starts.
