AEC are proud to support IOSH's No Time to Lose campaign

AEC are proud to support IOSH's No Time to Lose campaign #NTTLasbestos. which aims to raise awareness of the causes of occupational cancer.

As a leader in the health & safety industry, we recognise the importance of protecting people from exposure to asbestos, and our goal is to assist companies worldwide to assess and reduce risk and achieve workplace safety and compliance.

Asbestos is the biggest occupational cancer killer, claiming at least 107,000 lives a year worldwide. In Britain alone around 5,000 people die from work-related asbestos exposure.

The risk from asbestos is considered to be so serious that 62 countries, including the UK and those in the European Union, have banned its use and have specific laws to protect workers and others who may be exposed to it.

However, asbestos is still used and imported into many countries, and there are still many thousands of tonnes of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings, and in industrial plant and equipment, all over the world. Workers could be at risk from breathing in asbestos fibres.

The world’s Chartered body for safety and health professionals – The Institution of Occupational and Safety Health (IOSH) – will be launching the asbestos phase of its No Time to Lose campaign on 09 April 2018.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of occupational cancer contracted by exposure to asbestos and help businesses take action by providing free practical materials.
