About UKATA Asbestos Awareness Online Training Course

The asbestos awareness online course is designed for employees at all levels who may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials.

The core purpose of this course is to equip the trainees in companies of all sizes with adequate knowledge, skills and competence to work safely with ACMs.

Why Is UKATA Asbestos Awareness Important?

Asbestos still kills 5,000 workers annually – more than the number of people killed each year as a result of road accidents. To put this into perspective, nearly 20 tradesmen die every week due to past asbestos exposure. It is still present today in the buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

Asbestos exposure is related to the following diseases: mesothelioma, lung cancer or stomach cancers as well as asbestosis resulting in nearly 5000 deaths every year.

Every employer must ensure that anyone liable to disturb asbestos during their normal work or that individuals supervising these employees get appropriate information, guidance and training to work safely without being harmed.
