Canberra has a well-documented history of asbestos exposure risks, with significant volumes of asbestos-containing materials remaining in older residential, government and commercial buildings throughout the ACT. The territory’s experience with Mr Fluffy loose-fill asbestos insulation has also contributed to heightened community awareness of asbestos hazards and the importance of properly trained removal professionals.
Construction workers, demolition contractors, building maintenance teams, government infrastructure workers and defence sector personnel regularly encounter asbestos-containing materials during refurbishment, maintenance and demolition activities. This creates ongoing demand for asbestos removal training Canberra workers can access locally.
The nationally recognised CPCCDE3028 Remove Non-Friable Asbestos course provides the practical skills and knowledge required to identify non-friable ACM, assess workplace risks, implement control measures and safely remove asbestos-containing materials in accordance with WorkSafe ACT requirements. Delivered face-to-face by AlertForce, this asbestos removal course Canberra workers trust supports those seeking employment in asbestos removal, demolition, construction, commercial fit-out and building maintenance throughout the ACT and surrounding region.
Participants learn how to prepare work areas, use appropriate personal protective equipment, follow decontamination procedures and safely complete asbestos removal activities in accordance with Class B asbestos removal requirements. Workers who may encounter asbestos but are not undertaking removal work may instead require Asbestos Awareness Training. Workers exposed to multiple hazardous materials can also benefit from completing Silica Awareness Training.
For information about licensing requirements, workers can also read How to Get a Licence to Remove Asbestos and What Is Asbestos and Do You Need a Licence to Remove It?.

Does completing the CPCCDE3028 qualify me to apply for a Class B Asbestos Removal Licence with WorkSafe ACT?
The CPCCDE3028 unit is the nationally recognised training requirement for workers carrying out licensed non-friable asbestos removal work. Businesses seeking a Class B Asbestos Removal Licence must also satisfy WorkSafe ACT licensing requirements.
What is the 10m² rule for non-friable asbestos removal in the ACT and who does it apply to?
A Class B Asbestos Removal Licence is generally required when more than 10m² of non-friable asbestos-containing material is being removed. This commonly applies to demolition, renovation, maintenance and refurbishment work involving asbestos cement products and similar materials.
Which industries in Canberra have the highest demand for CPCCDE3028-certified asbestos removal workers?
Demand is strongest across construction, demolition, government infrastructure, Commonwealth Government facilities, defence sites, commercial fit-out projects and building maintenance sectors where asbestos-containing materials remain present in older buildings.
Can the CPCCDE3028 asbestos removal course be completed online, or does it need to be face-to-face in Canberra?
No. CPCCDE3028 Remove Non-Friable Asbestos includes practical assessment requirements and must be completed through face-to-face training and assessment.
Why is asbestos awareness particularly high in Canberra and the ACT?
The ACT’s history with Mr Fluffy loose-fill asbestos insulation and the presence of older government, residential and defence buildings have contributed to strong community awareness of asbestos risks and the importance of properly trained asbestos removal workers.
