Course date: 5 March 2026 at our Oswestry Training Centre
Asbestos remains one of the most significant occupational health risks in the UK. Despite being banned more than two decades ago, it is still present in thousands of buildings, from homes and schools to hospitals and commercial premises. At MBO Safety Services, we deliver accredited UKATA Asbestos Awareness training to ensure workers understand the dangers and know how to protect themselves and others.
With our next course taking place on 5 March at our premises in Oswestry, now is the ideal time to secure your place.
Why UKATA Asbestos Awareness Training Is Essential
Protecting Workers From A Silent Hazard
Asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye. Once disturbed, they can be inhaled and cause life threatening diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. These conditions often develop decades after exposure, which is why awareness and prevention are critical.
Meeting Legal Responsibilities
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require employers to ensure that anyone who may come into contact with asbestos receives appropriate training. UKATA accredited training is widely recognised as the industry standard for demonstrating compliance.
Reducing Risk On Site
Workers who understand where asbestos may be found, how to avoid disturbing it and what to do if they suspect its presence are far less likely to put themselves or others at risk. Awareness training is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent accidental exposure.
Who Should Complete UKATA Asbestos Awareness Training?
This course is essential for anyone who may encounter asbestos during their work, including:
- Construction workers
- Plumbers, electricians and heating engineers
- Joiners, roofers and plasterers
- Painters, decorators and maintenance staff
- Surveyors, architects and project managers
- Facilities and property management teams
- Anyone involved in refurbishment, demolition or repair work
If your role involves working on buildings constructed before the year 2000, asbestos awareness training is not optional.

Our UKATA Asbestos Awareness course covers:
- What asbestos is and why it is dangerous
- The health effects of exposure
- Common locations where asbestos is found
- How to avoid disturbing asbestos containing materials
- Emergency procedures if asbestos is accidentally disturbed
Training is delivered by experienced instructors who specialise in making complex information clear, practical and relevant to real working environments.
