Asbestos Health Statistics in the UK: Why Competent Training Matters More Than Ever

The latest HSE data shows asbestos remains the biggest workplace killer in the UK, with around 5,000 deaths every year. Despite being banned in 1999, asbestos is still present in hundreds of thousands of buildings, meaning the risk hasn’t gone away.

At MBO Safety Services, we’re committed to helping organisations protect their people through UKATA‑approved asbestos training.

🔹 Asbestos Awareness Training: for workers who may encounter asbestos but won’t intentionally disturb it
🔹 Non‑Licensed Asbestos Training: for those required to work on low‑risk ACMs

📅 Next Non‑Licensed Course: 17 August

Competent training saves lives. If your team works in environments where asbestos may be present, now is the time to act.

What UK Venues Must Do Before 2027

Martyns Law is coming, and UK venues must start preparing now. The Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025 introduces new legal duties for public spaces, from staff training to full security planning.

At MBO Safety Services, we are helping organisations understand their responsibilities and stay compliant ahead of enforcement in 2027.

We are also gauging interest in the new NEBOSH terrorism‑protection qualifications, designed to support both Standard Duty and Enhanced Duty premises.

If your venue needs guidance, training or support, our team is ready to help you prepare.
Safety is not optional. It is essential.

Farm Safety Week is a crucial reminder of the real risks faced across UK agriculture. With 29 fatalities recorded between April 2025 and March 2026, and thousands more suffering life‑changing injuries, the need for safer working practices has never been clearer.

At MBO Safety Services, we see the human impact behind these statistics. From vehicle overturns and machinery entanglement to livestock incidents and heat‑related fatigue, every accident affects a person, a family and a business.

This week encourages farmers to pause, reflect and make one meaningful change that improves safety. Even small steps, such as a risk check or improved maintenance, can prevent serious incidents.

We are committed to supporting safer farming through tailored audits, practical risk assessments, hands‑on training and ongoing compliance support.

Read our full blog to learn more about Farm Safety Week and how we can help strengthen safety on your farm.

COSHH isn’t just compliance, it’s protection.

Every workplace uses chemicals, dusts, fumes and flammable substances that can harm health or create dangerous atmospheres. Yet many organisations still rely on outdated assessments, poor labelling, missing SDSs or inconsistent storage, all of which increase risk and weaken safety culture.

Strong COSHH and DSEAR management is one of the most effective ways to safeguard employees, reduce downtime and demonstrate a genuine commitment to responsible operations.

At MBO Safety Services, we help businesses build practical, robust systems that go beyond paperwork. Our support covers everything from task‑specific COSHH assessments and SDS management to full DSEAR reviews for spray booths, workshops and storage areas. We identify gaps, strengthen controls and ensure your workplace is protected from both health hazards and explosive atmospheres.

Whether you’re dealing with everyday cleaning chemicals or flammable paints and solvents, our team ensures your documentation, storage, training and monitoring meet regulatory expectations and keep your people safe.

Another busy week comes to an end here at MBO Safety Services.

Our consultants have been travelling across the country supporting clients with their health and safety needs, and it’s been fantastic to see so many organisations investing in quality training.

On Tuesday, we delivered a CITB Health & Safety Awareness course — a big thank you to L G Blower, LACE Carpentry and Joinery, and all attendees. We hope you found the session valuable and we look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

Wednesday was equally productive with our Emergency First Aid at Work course. It was great working with ETC Sawmills, C&L 24h Emergency Drainage, Oswyn House and R G Edwards. We’re delighted the training went smoothly and we look forward to supporting your teams again in the future.

We also attended the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce Summer BBQ Networking Event — a brilliant opportunity to meet new faces and connect with businesses across the region.

To round off the week, we delivered Confined Spaces training for the excellent team at ABP. It’s always a pleasure working with such a committed group.

If you’d like to discuss your health and safety requirements or explore training options, our team is always here to help. Contact us on 08000 842 297 or [email protected].

At MBO Safety Services, we’re committed to helping organisations control silica exposure through robust COSHH compliance, effective dust suppression, RPE programmes, face‑fit testing, and practical worker training.

Protecting your workforce starts with understanding the risks.
