Event Details
Date: 10 April 2025
Location: Online
Time: 11:00 – 12:00
Asbestos remains a significant health hazard in the UK and each year, asbestos-related diseases continue to claim more than 5,000 lives. It is especially hazardous for those in the finishes and interiors sector who frequently work in older buildings where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present.
UK Asbestos Training Association (UKATA) is dedicated to improving the quality and standards of asbestos training, with the ultimate goal of protecting workers and the public from the risks associated with asbestos exposure.
To achieve this goal, it is vital that we continue to discuss and educate in order to debunk any myths associated with asbestos.
To support, FIS in collaboration with UKATA, is hosting a webinar to dig deeper into some of the myths around asbestos and provide an opportunity for the audience to put their questions to UKATA Speaker, Wayne Bagnall.
