Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n2016 statistics released by the Government show that over 5,000 people died from asbestos-related diseases last year, and still rising!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is projecting that there will be around 2,500 mesothelioma deaths per year for the rest of this decade before numbers begin to decline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t- All asbestos-related diseases typically take many years to develop so current statistics reflect the legacy of past working conditions.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Widespread use of asbestos containing products in the past, particularly in the post-WWII building industry, led to a large increase in asbestos-related disease in Great Britain over the last few decades.<\/li>\r\n\t
- The cancer, mesothelioma, has such a strong relationship with asbestos that annual deaths give a particularly clear view of the effect of past exposures<\/li>\r\n\t
- Annual deaths increased steeply over the last 50 years, largely as a result of asbestos exposure prior to 1980, and are now expected to continue at current levels for the rest of the decade before declining<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n
Legal Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nThe Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, Regulation 10 requires every employer to ensure that adequate information, instruction and training is given to their employees who are or who are liable to be exposed to asbestos, or who supervise such employees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This syllabus is concerned only with Asbestos Awareness Training as per paragraphs 232 and 233 of the associated Approved Code of Practice and shall be defined as Category \u2018A\u2019 Asbestos Awareness Training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This syllabus will assist employers in meeting this requirement by explaining the properties of asbestos and its effects on the health of individuals, the types, uses and likely occurrences of asbestos and ACMs in buildings and plant, the general procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency and how to avoid the risks from ACMs.<\/p>","hidden_content":"","download":"\/Course-Overviews---Commercial\/Asbestos-Awareness-UKATA---v1-Aug20.pdf","seo_title":"UKATA Asbestos Awareness Training Course","meta_description":"Asbestos Awareness can be lifesaving.

What is COSHH? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nCOSHH is the law that requires employers to control substances that are hazardous to health. You can prevent or reduce workers exposure to hazardous substances by:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t- finding out what the health hazards are<\/li>\r\n\t
- deciding how to prevent harm to health (risk assessment)<\/li>\r\n\t
- providing control measures to reduce harm to health<\/li>\r\n\t
- making sure they are used<\/li>\r\n\t
- keeping all control measures in good working order<\/li>\r\n\t

- providing monitoring and health surveillance in appropriate cases<\/li>\r\n\t
- planning for emergencies<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n
Most businesses use substances, or products that are mixtures of substances. Some processes create substances. These could cause harm to employees, contractors and other people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sometimes substances are easily recognised as harmful.

Face Fit Testing is a Legal Requirement.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
All UK employees who wear tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE) must, by now, have a certificate to prove that the protective equipment they wear during work not only fits them, but also affords them the effective protection necessary for the task being performed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
All face fit testing is conducted by one of our Fit2Fit accredited trainers.<\/em><\/p>","course_info":"Face Fit Testing Course Overview<\/h2>\r\n\r\n
This is a method used for checking that a tight fitting face piece matches the person\u2019s facial features and seals adequately to the wearers face. It also helps to ensure that poorly fitting face pieces are not selected for use. An inadequate fit will significantly reduce the protection provided to the wearer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
If a fit test is not performed, then an unsatisfactory seal \/ barrier may unknowingly exist. This could allow excessive leakage of airborne contaminants into the wearer\u2019s breathing zone, even though the user is wearing a respirator correctly selected for the application.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Entry Requirements<\/h2>\r\n\r\n
Persons attending MUST<\/u><\/strong> be clean shaven. The fit test cannot be carried out if there is any hair growth between the skin and the face piece sealing surface e.g. stubble beard growth, beard, moustache etc. <\/p>\r\n\r\nThe wearer should not eat, drink (except plain water), smoke or chew gum for at least 30 minutes before the test.<\/p>","assessment":"
There is no formal assessment however, instruction will be given by our tutor on how to recognise, inspect, test and fit a mask correctly including performing a pre-fit check. Learners will be expected to imitate these procedures correctly prior to fit testing to confirm understanding. During the fit test, led by our tutor, learners will be directed to perform several test procedures in accordance with the INDG 479 guidance to test the integrity and seal of the mask over a period of time.<\/p>","certification":"
For those who successfully complete face fit testing, they will receive an Essential Site Skills digital certificate detailing the type, make and model of the respirator and also a Qualitative Fit Test employee record, both of which include the Fit2Fit logo identifying the fit test was done by a Fit2Fit Accredited Trainer.
