UKATA Asbestos Awareness

Asbestos is a very dangerous substance that was used as a building material in the UK from the 1950s to the mid 1980s. In a good condition asbestos is safe, but if it is disturbed and its particles become airbourne it can pose a grave health risk. Therefore it is essential that it must be correctly identified, monitored, contained and managed, as exposure can result in serious illness and death (currently at a rate of 4000 a year). With the introduction of The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, those who deal with materials that potentially contain asbestos must be aware of the dangers of asbestos in buildings to minimise risks of exposure. Train your staff on this essential course before the HSE stop you!
