Why Every Tradesperson Needs Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling & Working at Height Training

Health and safety are the backbone of every trade, but too often, theyโre treated as afterthoughts rather than essential skills. Whether youโre an electrician, plumber, roofer, or site operative, your competence doesnโt just depend on what you can build or wire โ it depends on how safely you can do it.
At Learn Trade Skills in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, weโve seen firsthand the difference that proper safety education makes. Thatโs why every learner who trains with us gains certified CPD training in Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling, and Working at Height. These arenโt just classroom modules โ theyโre practical, industry-led courses designed to protect workers and raise standards across Broxbourne, Enfield, and the wider Hertfordshire region.
In this article, Iโll explain why these three types of training are now vital across all trades, how theyโre saving lives according to HSE data
, and how weโve integrated them into our hands-on Basic Electrical Course to ensure every learner leaves site-ready, compliant, and confident.
