Course Overview
“Would your team know what to do if they uncovered asbestos tomorrow?”
Asbestos remains a hidden danger on many Australian worksites -often in older buildings, insulation, or construction materials. Many workers are unaware they’ve come into contact with it until it’s too late. This Asbestos Awareness Course is designed to give your team the confidence and knowledge to identify asbestos-containing materials, understand the health risks, and follow the correct procedures to minimise exposure [Worksafe.vic.gov.au].
In New South Wales (NSW), the legal obligations for asbestos awareness training are governed by the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017. These laws mandate that employers and persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) must ensure that workers who may encounter asbestos in their work are provided with appropriate training [Safework.nsw.gov.au].
“Are you meeting your legal obligations for asbestos awareness training?”
