Asbestos Training Courses

Book This Course

Asbestos is still a huge contributor to thousands of deaths around the UK every year, so it’s vital that you do take a number of precautions if you are likely to come into contact with asbestos in the workplace. Taking part in an asbestos training course is essential for a large number of workers from a variety of sectors, and if you do come into contact with asbestos as part of your day-to-day role, it’s your employer’s job to ensure you have had the necessary training to be compliant with health and safety legislation.

Boss Training is a fully licensed provider of UKATA asbestos training and offers three distinct UKATA approved courses.

UKATA Asbestos Courses We Provide

WHY IS ASBESTOS TRAINING SO IMPORTANT?

In order to understand just how important asbestos training is, it’s vital that we understand the nature of asbestos. Asbestos is made up of thin and fibrous crystals, which when breathed in, are known to cause mesothelioma (a cancer of the lining of the lungs). Unfortunately, a significant number of buildings constructed prior to the year 2000 may have been insulated using asbestos. When working in close proximity to asbestos, it is very likely that you will disturb the material, which causes its particles to float up into the air and inhaled by those working at the site.

Current research shows that there are over 5,000 asbestos-related deaths each year in the UK alone, which further highlights just how important it is that those who are likely to be working where asbestos may exist are properly trained on how to best work around the substance.

Any employer must make sure that any employees who are likely to come into contact with asbestos or asbestos-containing materials have had training on how to work with this material in a safe way.

Who Needs To Attend An Asbestos Training Course?

With asbestos or asbestos-containing materials still being found in a number of buildings even today, there are a whole host of workers, from a variety of professions that could benefit from asbestos training in some form. Asbestos training is considered an urgent priority for any ‘high-risk’ individuals, you would fall into this category if you:

  • Work on buildings constructed prior to 2000 (i.e. many buildings in the UK)
  • Are working on an unfamiliar site (another high probability for most in the trade)
  • Are working where asbestos-containing materials were not identified before work started
  • Are working where asbestos-containing materials were identified but details were not passed on to the supervisor
  • Do not know how to identify and work safely alongside asbestos-containing materials
  • Have not attended a UKATA approved training course
  • Are aware of asbestos risks but cut corners for money and time-saving purposes
