In the UK, more than half a million non-domestic premises and houses are still thought to contain some form of asbestos.

Figures from the Health and Safety Executive show that around a quarter of the 4,000 or so people dying from asbestos-related diseases each year in Britain are tradespeople, such as joiners, electricians and plumbers. This is why asbestos training is a legal requirement; so you can avoid the risks.

Every year thousands of people fall ill and die because of exposure to asbestos. It was widely used by the construction industry right up until the year 2000.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 apply to employers, employees, self employed persons and duty holders. The Regulations cover all work with asbestos containing materials.

Regulation 10 of CAR states that every employer must ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to employees who are liable to be exposed to asbestos. This includes maintenance workers and others who may come into contact with or disturb asbestos.

The Problem

Asbestos is probably the most hazardous building material ever used.

Every year more than 4000 people will lose their life because of exposure to asbestos. Exposure to asbestos can cause serious diseases, which can take up to 45 years to be diagnosed.

Any building built on or before the year 2000 can contain asbestos, this equates to approximately half a million buildings in the UK.

The Law

As a result of the epidemic facing the UK, legislation governs work with asbestos. The Control of Asbestos 2012 Regulations ensure workers who can potentially be exposed are protected. These Regulations place legal duties on employers and employees.
