Silica is found in many industries including the extractive industry and in the manufacture of concrete-based building materials. The following industries are typical but not limited:
According to Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, PCBUs are required to ensure that workers who may be exposed to asbestos or asbestos-containing material (ACMs), attend a course approved in asbestos awareness.
WorkSafe ACT requires workers to complete 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness (previously 10675NAT) and CPCCWHS1001 – Prepare to work safely within the construction industry. 10830NAT Course in Crystalline Silica Exposure Prevention has become mandatory for construction industry workers in the ACT. It looks as though it will shortly come to other states.
The awareness training is a 4-hour course. It provides a general overview on how to protect yourself from silica.
The course must be delivered face-to-face at this stage. Please contact AlertForce at 1800 900 22 to find out to discuss location training options.
The cost of training varies according to the course and the organisation. AlertForce charges $397 per person.
Regular Silica Exposure Prevention Training in Brisbane will take place including private course at your workplace. You may be eligible for a discount if you have multiple employees who need to complete the training.
Ask about Training Authority Fund Subsidies if you work primarily in Canberra if you do most of your work there. Otherwise, in Victoria there is currently no funding available.
