ACMS UK has accepted the invitation from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the training industry by pledging 50 free training hours to help reach a poignant target of 4000 a number which reflects the approximate number of deaths each year from asbestos-related diseases. The free asbestos awareness training will be available throughout October and November and is aimed at tradesmen who are most likely to disturb the fibres as they go about their work – around 20 a week lose their lives to asbestos-related diseases. Steve Aldridge the Managing Director of ACMS UK says: “We welcomed the opportunity to be involved in such a worthwhile initiative. Through there is little that can be done  to help those already suffering the effects of asbestos from exposure years ago, we can help prevent this hidden killer claiming another generation by ensuring there is good quality and accessible training out there. Hopefully the 50 free hours we have pledged will make a real difference to how tradesmen approach jobs – putting their health first.” Those wanting to see what has been pledged in their area and to sign up to free training should visit the campaign website http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/training-pledge.htm • Asbestos is Britain’s biggest occupational killer – know the risks and learn how to protect yourself with free asbestos awareness training.• If you work on buildings built or refurbished before the year 2000, they could contain asbestos.• Approximately 4000 people die every year from asbestos-related diseases, including approximately 20 tradesmen a week. • HSE is working closely with industry to bring you this opportunity.• The target 4000 hours reflects the approximate 4000 deaths each year from asbestos-related diseases.• This opportunity is for a limited time – don’t delay.• Asbestos awareness training is only the first step.

The people most at risk are workers who are often unaware of the potential for contamination within their day-to-day working environment A key factor in the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease is the total number of fibres breathed in. Working on or near damaged asbestos-containing materials or breathing in high levels of asbestos fibres can increase your chances of getting an asbestos-related disease. Following on from an invitation from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to provide 50 free online training places, ACMS UK Ltd is pleased to offer a further 50 free training places (limited to 5 courses per company) The free online asbestos awareness training will be available throughout November and December and is aimed at those workers who are most likely to disturb asbestos fibres as they go about their work.
