Understanding the Risk: UKATA Asbestos Awareness Course at MBO Safety Services

📅 Date: 10th September 📍 Location: MBO Safety Services, Oswestry 

At MBO Safety Services, we’re committed to making safety simple, practical, and effective for every worker and employer. One of the most pressing risks still facing many trades today is asbestos exposure. That’s why we’re proud to offer the UKATA Asbestos Awareness course at our Oswestry premises on 10th September—designed to equip professionals with essential knowledge that could save lives. 

👷 Who Should Attend This Course? 

This awareness training is not just for asbestos specialists—it’s for anyone who may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials during their work. That includes: 

  • Builders and contractors 
  • Plumbers, electricians and roofers 
  • Heating and ventilation engineers 
  • Caretakers, maintenance workers and decorators 
  • Facilities managers and demolition crews 

In short, if you work on buildings built before the year 2000, you’re potentially at risk—and this course is for you. 

❗ Why Is Asbestos Awareness Critical? 

Asbestos-related diseases remain one of the UK’s biggest workplace killers. The fibres, invisible to the naked eye, are hazardous when disturbed—leading to serious conditions like mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. Yet with proper training, risks can be identified and safely managed. 

Our UKATA-accredited course ensures compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Attendees will: 

  • Understand what asbestos is and where it may be found 
  • Recognise health hazards related to asbestos exposure 
  • Know how to prevent and respond to asbestos risks 
  • Learn how to comply with legal duties in the workplace
