Asbestos - statistics published and upcoming training
The most recent statistics for mesothelioma, a cancer caused by past exposure to asbestos, show 2,257 people died from the disease in 2022.
This is slightly lower than the 2,290 deaths in 2021, and substantially lower than the average of 2,529 deaths per year over the period from 2012 to 2020.
HSE is currently running two asbestos campaigns:
- Asbestos and You highlights the risk of asbestos to tradespeople
- Asbestos – Your Duty raises awareness of the legal duty to manage asbestos in buildings
Housing H&S Compliance UK Ltd (HHSC) have the following upcoming asbestos training courses where delegates can learn about asbestos and the causes of mesothelioma.
IATP Approved Asbestos Awareness
The Asbestos Awareness session has been designed to be split into three ‘toolbox’ sessions so it’s easy for delegates to digest the information. The course follows the overall IATP syllabus and we have been approved to deliver the training in this way.
Click for more information and to book the ‘Live Online’ public course on 16th October or the Face-to-face course in Glasgow on 8th January.
