Canberra has some of the most stringent asbestos awareness requirements in Australia. With large volumes of government buildings, public infrastructure, schools and residential properties constructed during periods when asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were widely used, workers across the ACT regularly encounter environments where asbestos may be present.
The nationally recognised 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness helps Canberra 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 WorkSafe ACT requirements and supports workers and employers in meeting their obligations under ACT 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. Given the ACT’s strong regulatory focus on asbestos awareness, the course equips workers with practical knowledge to identify asbestos-containing materials, understand exposure risks and apply appropriate controls before work begins.

Statement of Attainment
Mandatory for all ACT construction sites
The ACT has specific asbestos awareness training requirements for workers operating on construction sites. Since October 2023, WorkSafe ACT has required workers in specified occupations who may be exposed to asbestos dust to complete asbestos awareness training before undertaking work activities where asbestos-containing materials may be present.
The 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness is the recognised training program used to meet these requirements. The course helps workers identify asbestos-containing materials, understand asbestos registers and management plans, recognise health risks and follow appropriate control measures when asbestos may be present.
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.
