As part of Asbestos Focus Month (November 2022) the Asbestos & Hazardous Materials Consultant’s Association (AHCA) has put together a Members Campaign Pack which includes email content, animation posts, Microsoft Teams Background and other useful information/media resources.

Join us this Thursday, the 24th of November, for a free webinar on Asbestos and Natural Disasters. This webinar focusses on the experiences and lessons learnt from fires and floods in the management of asbestos to prevent exposures to workers and the communities caught up in the clean-ups. Our presenters have been on the front line dealing with the challenges of asbestos exposures during these tragic events.

We’d like to thank John Batty for his service as President of the AHCA over the past 18 months. Please find his President report and recording of the AGM.

Our friends over at AIOH are hosting a free webinar that you’re invited to join. This is for practitioners involved in the characterization of asbestos containing materials to give them an update on issues as well as improve their knowledge and skills.

This November, we’re helping to spread information about asbestos and the associated risks with our network and the wider community at large.

The AHCA would like to highlight to members and the wider industry a recent statement released by NATA clarifying the NATA position regarding the use of adhesive tapes and/or swab sampling techniques and associated analysis for asbestos.
