At MBO Safety Services, we believe that knowledge is the first line of defence when it comes to workplace safety. One of the most critical areas of awareness in construction, maintenance, and related industries is asbestos. That is why we proudly offer UKATA Asbestos Awareness training — a course designed to protect lives, ensure compliance, and empower professionals with the information they need to stay safe.
🧠 What Is UKATA Asbestos Awareness?
UKATA (United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association) Asbestos Awareness training is a recognised and respected course that educates workers on the dangers of asbestos, where it might be found, and how to avoid disturbing it. It does not train individuals to work with asbestos directly, but it is essential for anyone who may encounter it in their day-to-day duties.
👷 Who Should Take This Course?
This training is vital for:
- Builders, electricians, plumbers, and decorators
- Maintenance workers and caretakers
- Surveyors and architects
- Anyone working in environments where asbestos-containing materials may be present
If your role involves refurbishment, demolition, or general maintenance of buildings constructed before the year 2000, this course is not just recommended — it is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
🚨 Why Is It So Important?
Asbestos-related diseases still claim thousands of lives each year in the UK. The fibres are invisible, deadly, and disturbingly common in older buildings. Without proper awareness, workers could unknowingly expose themselves and others to serious health risks. UKATA training ensures that individuals understand:
- The properties of asbestos and its health effects
- Common locations where asbestos may be found
- Procedures to follow if asbestos is suspected
- Legal responsibilities and best practices for safety
