Mesothelioma Awareness Day – Why Asbestos Awareness Training Matters
Today, 26 September, is Mesothelioma Awareness Day – a reminder that asbestos exposure is still one of the UK’s biggest workplace health risks.
Mesothelioma is a cancer caused almost entirely by asbestos exposure. There is no safe level of exposure, and the risks are often hidden in buildings we work in every day. From insulation and ceiling tiles to old flooring materials, asbestos can be found in many domestic and non-domestic buildings.
Why training is essential
Anyone who might disturb asbestos during their work such as and not limited to – builders, maintenance staff, electricians, plumbers, decorators, fire alarm engineers – must know:
-
How to recognise asbestos-containing materials
-
How to avoid disturbing them
-
What to do if asbestos is found
That’s where Asbestos Awareness Training comes in. It gives you the knowledge to protect yourself, your colleagues, and your business – and helps you meet your legal duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Protect your workforce
At Essential 6, we deliver accredited Asbestos Awareness courses designed to help workers and duty holders understand the risks and responsibilities. Our training provides practical knowledge to reduce risk and ensure compliance.
