Course details

Complete your Asbestos Awareness training online, at your own pace and without leaving your workplace.

This is a non-accredited course providing essential knowledge about asbestos, its types, locations and health risks. It is designed for tradespeople, construction workers and others who may encounter asbestos in the course of their work and need to know how to identify it and avoid disturbing it. Workers who are required to remove asbestos must complete an accredited removal course — this awareness course does not qualify anyone to remove asbestos.

Course name

Asbestos Awareness Online Course

Cost

$75 per person

Duration

Approximately 2.5 hours (self-paced, online)

Target audience

This course suits any worker whose role may bring them into contact with asbestos-containing materials in buildings, structures or plant. Asbestos was widely used in Australian construction until the late 1980s, and many older buildings still contain it. Any worker entering, renovating or maintaining these structures should understand the risks.

It is well suited to both workers new to asbestos awareness obligations and those completing a refresher on current legislation and safe work requirements.

This course is suitable for:

Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, plasterers, painters and gas fitters
Workers who enter ceiling cavities, including insulation installers, pest control operators and air-conditioning technicians
Demolition, renovation and maintenance workers
Solar panel installers and roofing workers
Floor finishers and tilers
Emergency services workers
Building and construction workers across all trades

Pathways

Asbestos Awareness is the essential starting point for workers who may encounter asbestos. If your role requires you to actually remove asbestos-containing materials, you will need to complete an accredited removal course:

Remove Non-Friable Asbestos (CPCCDE3028): The first step in the licensed removal pathway. A one-day accredited course for workers required to remove non-friable (Class B) asbestos-containing materials
Remove Friable Asbestos (CPCCDE3029): The advanced removal course for workers required to remove friable (Class A) asbestos-containing materials. Requires CPCCDE3028 as a prerequisite
Work Health and Safety qualifications: For those pursuing formal credentials in workplace safety and hazard management

Why Train with Link Resources?

Asbestos is still present in millions of Australian buildings

Any building constructed before 1990 may contain asbestos-containing materials. Workers in construction, renovation and maintenance need to know what to look for and what to do — and what not to do — when they find it.

A clear pathway to accredited removal training

If your role involves asbestos removal, this course prepares you with the foundational awareness before progressing to the accredited CPCCDE3028 (non-friable) and CPCCDE3029 (friable) removal courses.

Flexible and self-paced

Start when it suits you and complete the course at your own pace. There are no fixed class times and no assessment to schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course accredited?

No. This is a non-accredited awareness course. Participants who successfully complete the course receive a certificate of completion.

Can I remove asbestos after completing this course?

No. This awareness course does not qualify you to remove asbestos. To remove non-friable asbestos you must complete the accredited CPCCDE3028 course. To remove friable asbestos you must also hold CPCCDE3029. Both courses are available through Link Resources.

Who needs Asbestos Awareness training?

Any worker who may encounter asbestos-containing materials in the course of their work should complete asbestos awareness training. This is particularly relevant for tradespeople, construction and maintenance workers, and anyone working in or on buildings constructed before 1990.

What is the difference between friable and non-friable asbestos?

Non-friable asbestos is bound in a solid matrix (such as cement sheeting) and is less likely to release fibres when undisturbed. Friable asbestos is loose or can be easily crumbled, making it more hazardous because fibres are more readily released into the air. Different licences are required to remove each type.

How long does the course take?

The course takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete. It is self-paced, so you can spread this across your own schedule if needed.

Can I enrol a group of staff?

Yes. Group enrolments are available on request. Contact us at (07) 5491 2144 or use the form on this page for more information.
