Awareness First

Course Overview

Understand the risks. Work with greater awareness.

Asbestos Awareness training is a short, awareness-focused course that helps participants understand what asbestos is, where it may potentially be encountered in Australian buildings, and the importance of safe work practices when the presence of asbestos-containing materials cannot be ruled out.

Many workers in construction, trades, renovation and property maintenance may undertake this training as part of their broader workplace safety knowledge — particularly when working on or around older buildings. Specific certification, unit codes and any additional regulatory requirements are confirmed by our team at enrolment.
