Nearly 20 tradespeople die every week due to past asbestos exposure. This adds up to approximately 5,000 fatalities every year – making asbestos the single largest cause of work-related deaths in the UK.
Despite an outright ban, buildings built or refurbished before 2000 can still contain asbestos. When asbestos is disturbed or degraded, microscopic needle-like fibres are released into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to severe and incurable respiratory illnesses, including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer.
Employers must ensure that employees who may encounter asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) during their work receive adequate information, guidance and training to reduce the risk of exposure. This training must cover:
Our UKATA Asbestos Awareness course fulfils these training requirements. It is designed for employees at all levels who may unknowingly come into contact with asbestos-containing materials during their work.
The course equips trainees with adequate knowledge and awareness to recognise ACMs and avoid disturbing them. It does not qualify trainees to work with asbestos.
