Course Dates For Asbestos Awareness Training

It is crucial that workers and supervisors understand how to identify and safely work with asbestos or material that contains this dangerous mineral. The training goal is to enable workers to understand where they may find asbestos and the steps they must therefore take to ensure safety for all. Training will involve:

  • Identifying, handling safely and providing appropriate control measures for asbestos that is naturally occurring, loose fill (finely crushed and used as insulation) and asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

As an employer, business or PCBU, your responsibilities include:

  • Providing staff and contractors with information and instructions about risks and controls so they may conduct their work safely.
  • Knowing and implementing the correct training for each team member.
