Why is Asbestos Awareness Training Important?
Asbestos is a highly hazardous substance that can lead to severe and fatal lung diseases when disturbed.
While asbestos use was banned in 1999, it remains present in many older buildings, making awareness crucial for anyone working in such environments.
Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause life-threatening conditions such as:
- Mesothelioma (a type of cancer affecting the lining of the lungs)
- Asbestosis (chronic lung disease caused by prolonged exposure)
- Lung cancer
Employers are legally required under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to provide appropriate training for workers who might come into contact with asbestos. Failure to comply can lead to severe health risks and legal consequences.
