Asbestos Awareness Training

Asbestos Awareness training

Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are present in many Australian buildings and pose a significant risk for workers in the construction industry if not appropriately controlled.

Our Asbestos Awareness training course covers essential knowledge on identifying and managing asbestos containing materials that may be discovered on a construction site. Participants will learn about the health risks, legislative requirements, safe work practices and necessary signage, documentation and PPE that must be in place to ensure a safe working environment.

The course includes theory and practical demonstrations, using safely packaged asbestos and is delivered by trainers with over two decades of construction experience.
