The UK Asbestos Training Association (UKATA) has been shortlisted for Campaign of the Year Award at the Safety and Healthcare Excellence awards 2018 to recognise its efforts during the Train Safe, Work Safe, Keep Safe free asbestos awareness training campaign. Winners will be announced 11 April in Birmingham by host Rory Bremner. The award nomination is another mark of success for UKATA, which


this year celebrates ten years of dedication to asbestos training. The Train Safe, Work Safe, Keep


Safe Campaign was created by The UK Asbestos Training Association to keep small businesses and sole traders safe from the UK’s biggest workplace killer, asbestos, which still sees over 5,000 in the UK die each year due to asbestos-related disease, including mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer. UKATA members pledged in excess of 3,500 hours of free


asbestos awareness training in support of the campaign. The training was offered nationwide to small businesses, sole traders, DIY enthusiasts and those who were unaware such training was available. Victoria Castelluccio, Marketing


Officer at UKATA, said: “Being shortlisted for the Campaign of The Year award means so much to the team, who put a great deal of time and effort into ensuring the campaign was a huge success. It is


also a significant recognition of our members’ commitment to raising awareness of the risks associated to working with asbestos.” UKATA works closely with Mesothelioma charities nationwide to raise asbestos awareness, including Mesothelioma UK, which supported the campaign by sharing details with their service users. The awards ceremony itself will


attract more than 350 guests from the safety, health, fire and security sectors.
