From our purpose-built training centre in Bristol to customer premises throughout England, Scotland and Wales, we provide flexible UKATA asbestos training solutions that suit businesses of every size. Our aim is simple – to help reduce the risks associated with asbestos exposure while ensuring organisations remain compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Why UKATA Asbestos Training Is Essential

Despite asbestos being banned in the UK, it remains present in millions of commercial, industrial and domestic buildings constructed or refurbished before the year 2000. Asbestos-containing materials can still be found in insulation boards, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, textured coatings, pipe lagging, roofing materials, cement products and many other building components.

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, tiny fibres can become airborne. These fibres are invisible to the naked eye and can be inhaled into the lungs, where they may remain for many years. Long-term exposure to asbestos fibres has been linked to serious illnesses including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. For this reason, anyone whose work may bring them into contact with asbestos must receive appropriate information, instruction and training.

UKATA asbestos training helps delegates understand where asbestos is commonly found, how to recognise potential risks, what to do if asbestos is suspected, and how to avoid disturbing asbestos-containing materials during everyday work activities. Proper training protects workers, colleagues, clients and members of the public while helping employers meet their legal responsibilities
