Where asbestos containing materials (ACM) is identified or suspected in the workplace asbestos awareness training is required to inform managers, persons in control of the workplace, trades people and workers of the health and safety risks associated with asbestos and the ways in which to avoid disturbance of the ACM and subsequent exposure to asbestos fibres.
Most people are emotive about asbestos and fail to understand that asbestos becomes a risk to health when asbestos fibres become airborne and then inhaled. The Easy HR asbestos awareness training course is aimed to assist property managers, employees and contractors to understand their duties and where there is cause for concern.
This course is not Asbestos Awareness 10314 NAT required by the ACT government, however it meets Asbestos Awareness training requirements in other states.
