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 Duty to Manage Asbestos
Our IATP Approved Duty to Manage course is aimed at duty holders and appointed persons under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2021, the Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non-Domestic Premises.
This session would allow you to extend your asbestos knowledge to include a basic understanding of the legislative requirements of CAR 2012 with particular reference to the Duty Holder and who that can be, the surveys available, what to expect in a survey and the asbestos management plan and its use.
