IATP Asbestos Awareness Online Training

Protect Your Team | Protect Your Business | Stay Compliant 

 

Essential asbestos awareness training for construction professionals – fully compliant with UK regulations. Only £25 per employee

 

As of 2026, asbestos remains the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the UK, with around 5,000 deaths annually. This mortality rate is significantly higher than the annual number of road traffic accidents in the UK. Despite the total ban on asbestos taking effect in 1999, it is estimated that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present in over 1.5 million buildings across the UK.

 

The question isn’t if your team will encounter asbestos – it’s when. As a construction company director or site manager, you have a legal duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to ensure your employees receive adequate asbestos awareness training. Non-compliance isn’t just risky – it can result in unlimited fines, prosecution, and devastating consequences for your workforce.

It’s about giving your employees the knowledge that could save their lives.
