Asbestos General basic training – a vital investment

The Swedish Work Environment Authority has strict rules and regulations (AFS 2006:1 – Asbestos) that require all personnel who perform work where asbestos may be present to have undergone relevant training. This applies not only to those who demolish or remediate asbestos, but also to those who perform maintenance, repairs, or other work where asbestos materials may be damaged and thus release hazardous fibers.
Without proper training, you risk:

-Serious health risks: Exposure to asbestos can cause life-threatening diseases with a long latency period.

-Breaches of the law and fines: Failure to comply with the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations can result in high penalties for the employer.

-Work stoppages: Insufficient competence can result in the construction site or project being shut down by the authorities.

Gustaf Cid Pérez

Head of Training & Certified Chemical Engineer

I founded Kunskapskontoret in 2012 because I saw a need for high-quality industry courses – at reasonable prices.

After 15 years as a chemical engineer, I realized how crucial it is to train employees in the work environment. I saw the connection between knowledge, awareness, and reduced accidents.

That is what drives me today: to help employers create safer, more productive, and happier workplaces.
