FREE Asbestos Awareness Training

 

FREE Asbestos Awareness Training in conjunction with UKATA

Train Safe, Work Safe, Keep Safe

 

If you have no intention in removing asbestos, but work on buildings built or refurbished before the year 2000, asbestos could be present.  You will need asbestos awareness training so you know how to avoid the risks.

 

Sanctus Training are delighted to announce:

5 FREE places are available on our 1/2 day Asbestos Awareness course on Wednesday 14 September 2016*

held at our purpose-built Asbestos Training facility in Cam, Gloucestershire

The course aims to provide delegates with an awareness and knowledge of the hazards and risks posed by asbestos containing materials (ACM’s).  It gives an overview of the legislative measures in place to permit employees to safeguard themselves and others affected by work activities.  Successful delegates will be issued with a UKATA certificate valid for one year.

Statistics show that around 5,000 people die every year in the UK as a result of breathing in asbestos fibres. (http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/dangerous.htm)

Damage caused to the lungs by asbestos inhalation can lay dormant for up to 60 years, and resulting diseases like mesothelioma are responsible for the weekly death toll amongst small traders that includes eight joiners, six electricians and four plumbers.
