Hobart’s construction, renovation, property maintenance and heritage restoration sectors regularly encounter asbestos-containing materials in older residential and commercial buildings. With Tasmania’s large stock of pre-1990 properties and heritage buildings, tradespeople and contractors often require specialist skills to safely identify and remove asbestos-containing materials before maintenance, refurbishment and restoration works can proceed.
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 Tasmanian work health and safety requirements. Delivered face-to-face by AlertForce, this asbestos removal course Hobart workers trust also serves as a leading asbestos removal course Tasmania workers choose to support employment opportunities across construction, renovation, property maintenance and heritage restoration projects.
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 in construction, demolition and renovation environments where multiple airborne hazards may be present can also benefit from completing Silica Awareness Training.
