This training course provides building construction and maintenance workers with a basic awareness of asbestos, where it may be found, its health hazards, and the safety control measures that should be applied to prevent exposure of workers and others.

For ACT workers: WorkSafe ACT requires that all workers who may come into contact with asbestos should be provided with awareness training. ACT WorkSafe inspectors require evidence that workers have been provided with appropriate training or some other way that the requirement under the legislation has been met.

On successful completion of this short course, you will be issued with a HIA Statement of Completion.
