Sydney contains some of Australia’s oldest residential, commercial and industrial building stock, with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) still present in many properties constructed before 1990. From renovation projects in the Inner West and Northern Beaches to maintenance work in commercial buildings throughout Parramatta and the Sydney CBD, workers across New South Wales can encounter asbestos during routine construction, maintenance and refurbishment activities.
The nationally recognised 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness helps Sydney workers identify asbestos-containing materials, understand associated health risks and apply safe work practices when asbestos may be present. Delivered by AlertForce, this course aligns with SafeWork NSW guidance and supports employers in meeting their obligations under NSW work health and safety legislation.
The 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness provides essential training on identifying, managing and working safely around asbestos-containing materials in Australian workplaces. With thousands of Sydney homes, commercial buildings and industrial sites still containing legacy asbestos products, this course equips workers with practical knowledge to recognise hazards, understand exposure risks and follow appropriate control measures before work begins.

Statement of Attainment
Mandatory for all NSW construction sites
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) and the NSW WHS Regulation 2025, employers must provide appropriate information, instruction and training where workers may be exposed to asbestos risks. Construction, maintenance, demolition and refurbishment workers may encounter asbestos-containing materials in a wide range of Sydney workplaces.
The 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness supports these obligations by helping workers identify asbestos-containing materials, understand asbestos registers and management plans, recognise exposure risks and apply appropriate controls. Workers seeking further guidance can also read our articles on when asbestos was used in homes and how to identify it, the new laws around asbestos and how often your team should update asbestos awareness training in ACT and NSW.
