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.

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.

In this webinar, UKATA Speaker Wayne Bagnall delved into some of the myths around asbestos, what questions to ask when starting a new project and what to look out for and how workers should be protected.
