Why Is Asbestos Risk Assessment Training Important?
Asbestos fibres can easily become airborne if products containing asbestos are handled improperly. These fibres are extremely dangerous when inhaled, and may lead to mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaque and other major health problems.
There are over 5,000 asbestos-related deaths each year, according to the Health and Safety Executive. In 2022, there were 2,257 deaths from mesothelioma and 493 deaths from asbestosis in the UK, a slight decrease from the previous year.
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, property owners must determine whether and where asbestos may exist on the premises. A risk assessment must be completed and controls put in place to ensure that the risk of exposure is as low as reasonably practicable.
