Diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis are all linked to inhaling asbestos fibres.

Protect yourself and your workers by ensuring proper asbestos training and removal procedures are in place.

Asbestos training is essential to identify risks and protect workers’ lives. Choose an IATP-approved provider to ensure your training meets the highest standards.

Choosing a provider approved by IATP means you’ll receive comprehensive, up-to-date training that meets strict industry standards. This isn’t just about ticking a box - it’s about making sure workers are equipped to handle one of the deadliest materials still present in workplaces today.

If your building was constructed before 2000, there’s a good chance asbestos-containing materials are present. Without asbestos awareness training, workers might disturb these materials, putting themselves and others at risk.

Asbestos is always a hazard and the risk increases due to deterioration, wear and disturbance. Whether it’s in buildings or household items, the danger is real. Always treat asbestos with caution and have it checked by professionals!

MYTH: Homeowners don’t need to worry about asbestos.

TRUTH: DIY projects in older homes can expose homeowners to asbestos. Cutting into old insulation, tiles, or roofing can release deadly fibres. Professional asbestos surveys and training are essential before renovations.

Workers who handle asbestos can carry the fibres home on their clothes, shoes, and tools. This puts their families at risk of secondhand exposure, leading to serious illnesses like mesothelioma. If you work around asbestos, always follow decontamination procedures to keep your loved ones safe!

Asbestos training is crucial for anyone who works with or around asbestos.

Proper training helps you understand the risks, safety measures, and legal requirements for handling asbestos.

It’s not just construction workers. Teachers, engineers, and even office workers can unknowingly be exposed to asbestos in older buildings. Training helps everyone understand the risks and stay safe.

Exposure to asbestos can cause diseases that take decades to develop. This means what we do today—proper training, identification, and management—directly impacts tomorrow’s health.

MYTH: Only construction workers need asbestos training.

TRUTH: Anyone working in or around buildings constructed before 2000, including plumbers, electricians, and caretakers, could disturb asbestos. Awareness training is vital for all at-risk workers.
