11084NAT Asbestos Awareness Training for ACT

The above dates are for face-to-face training at our VILLAWOOD  Training Centre where we have large classrooms and social distancing.

Courses commence at 1130am and you need to check in at 1115am please.

This course has now been updated to 11084NAT – Course in Asbestos Awareness which supersedes 10675NAT.  This is purely an administrative change of the course number and the unit of competency issued, after a review by ASQA.

The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 requires that a person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure that all of their workers who they reasonably believe will work with asbestos or asbestos containing materials attend face-to-face training in 10675NAT – Course in asbestos awareness. These workers include construction workers as well as a number of other workers in occupations declared by the Minister.

This training provides the participants with the knowledge to identify and understand the dangers of asbestos, an awareness of its possible locations in the work place and the procedures followed if asbestos is detected or assumed.

Who is required to do this training?

All workers who work in the occupations listed in the Minister’s declaration of occupations, regardless of how long they have worked in the job, their level of seniority, their qualifications and regardless of whether they are licensed or an apprentice are required to complete training.

The list of occupations listed by the Minister can be found https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/answers/detail/a_id/3093/~/asbestos-awareness-training#!tabs-2

There are no course pre-requisite training required.

Course Format

This is a 4 hour classroom based face to face training programme.  During this programme participants will be made aware of what asbestos is, where it could be found, what effects it can have on their long term health and what to do if asbestos is located.

Accreditation
