UKATA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES These slides are designed to assist UKATA members in the delivery of Category A – Asbestos Awareness Training when dealing with emergency procedures. The emphasis is on identifying asbestos in the first instance, thus avoiding the need for an emergency situation. However, should one arise the following can be adopted. The slides are provided as assistance and advice only and training providers should adapt and amend as necessary as every situation will present its own procedures that will be need to be followed. These procedures are by no way exhaustive and UKATA cannot and will not accept any liability arising from an emergency occurring.
