Darwin’s construction, government infrastructure, defence, resources and building maintenance sectors regularly encounter asbestos-containing materials in older residential, commercial and government buildings. The Northern Territory’s tropical climate can accelerate the deterioration of asbestos-containing materials, increasing the importance of safe identification, handling and removal practices.
The nationally recognised CPCCDE3014 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 NT WorkSafe requirements. Delivered face-to-face by AlertForce, this asbestos removal course Darwin workers trust supports employment opportunities across construction, government infrastructure, defence facilities, building maintenance and the resources sector throughout the Northern Territory.
Participants learn how to prepare work areas, use appropriate personal protective equipment, follow decontamination procedures and complete asbestos removal activities safely and compliantly. Workers who may encounter asbestos-containing materials but are not responsible for removal may find that Asbestos Awareness Training better suits their role. Those working across construction, infrastructure, defence and resource-sector environments where multiple airborne hazards may be present can also benefit from completing Silica Awareness Training.
For many workers, this course forms part of a broader pathway into licensed asbestos removal work. Our guide on how to get a licence to remove asbestos explains the process in more detail, while our article on asbestos licensing requirements and removal obligations outlines when licensed asbestos removal work is required.
