As/Because

I heard someone say:

"I didn't go to work as I was very tired"

In this case "as" is used instead of "because".

Is it correct?

"I didn' t go to work as I was very tired" It is OK, but we much more commonly use "since" or "because", especially in conversation.

It is OK - but quite formal. I would say in conversation:
I didn't go to work because....
