New initiative on asbestos danger
PLYMOUTH-BASED training provider SSG Training and Consultancy is playing its part in a Britain- wide drive to help tradesmen protect themselves from asbestos.
SSG has accepted the
invitation from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the training industry by pledging 15 free training hours to help reach a poignant target of 4,000 - a number which reflects the approximate number of deaths each year from asbestos-related diseases. The free asbestos
awareness training will be available in 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.
Mark Salmon from SSG which is a member of UKATA, United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association, says: ‘We
welcomed the opportunity to be involved in such a worthwhile initiative.
‘Though 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 15 free hours we have pledged will make a difference to how tradesmen in Plymouth 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,
