“I have just completed two days training at Alertforce in Melbourne Victoria. The courses were Remove non friable asbestos and Supervise non friable. I found the trainer Mick Webb to be very professional, very knowledgeable in this area and easy to learn from. I have taken away more than expected. I am a trainer/ assessor myself but in civil construction. We had a good size class which Mick was able to keep everyone interested which is a hard thing to do. I highly recommend Alertforce to anyone interested in these courses. Thanks Mick”

Melbourne’s extensive construction activity, major infrastructure projects and large manufacturing sector create ongoing exposure risks from respirable crystalline silica (RCS). Activities such as cutting, grinding, drilling and demolishing concrete, bricks, stone and other silica-containing materials can generate hazardous dust that may cause serious long-term health conditions, including silicosis and lung disease.
The nationally recognised 10830NAT Course in Crystalline Silica Exposure Prevention helps Melbourne workers identify silica hazards, understand associated health risks and apply effective control measures in the workplace. Delivered by AlertForce, this course supports workers and employers in meeting their obligations under Victoria’s occupational health and safety framework and WorkSafe Victoria guidance.
Course Overview
What You'll Learn
The 10830NAT Course in Crystalline Silica Exposure Prevention provides essential training on identifying crystalline silica hazards, understanding the health risks associated with respirable crystalline silica (RCS) and implementing effective control measures to minimise exposure. With silica-containing materials commonly encountered across Melbourne construction sites, infrastructure projects, manufacturing facilities and renovation works, this course equips workers with practical knowledge of exposure risks, hierarchy of controls, silica risk control plans, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and safe work practices. Participants also gain an understanding of the Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing the Risks of Respirable Crystalline Silica from Stone in the Workplace.

VIC Requirement
Under Victoria’s Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017, employers must provide workers with the information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to perform work safely. WorkSafe Victoria has increased its focus on respirable crystalline silica exposure and expects employers to appropriately manage silica-related risks in the workplace.
The 10830NAT Course in Crystalline Silica Exposure Prevention helps workers and employers understand silica hazards, exposure risks and practical control measures while supporting compliance with Victorian occupational health and safety requirements. Workers wanting to better understand the health impacts of exposure can learn more about silica dust and silicosis, while businesses navigating compliance obligations may find our guide to silica training requirements across Australia useful.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, call us on 1800 900 222.
Is silica awareness training mandatory in Victoria?
Victoria does not prescribe a specific silica awareness training course in the same way as some other jurisdictions. However, employers must provide workers with appropriate information, instruction, training and supervision where silica exposure risks are present.
Which industries in Melbourne are most affected by silica exposure risks?
Construction, manufacturing, stone fabrication, demolition, infrastructure and renovation industries commonly work with silica-containing materials and may generate respirable crystalline silica dust through routine work activities.
Does the engineered stone ban remove the need for silica awareness training?
No. While engineered stone is now banned, silica exposure risks remain present in many other materials, including concrete, brick, mortar, natural stone and manufactured products. Workers may still require silica awareness training depending on the work being undertaken. You can also learn more about which occupations require mandatory silica training.
Can the 10830NAT silica awareness course be completed remotely from regional Victoria?
Yes. AlertForce delivers the course through live webinar training, allowing workers throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria to complete the training remotely while still receiving nationally recognised certification.
Who should complete silica awareness training in Victoria?
Workers who regularly handle, cut, grind, drill, demolish or otherwise disturb silica-containing materials should consider silica awareness training. This includes construction workers, tradespeople, manufacturing workers, stone fabricators and supervisors responsible for managing workplace safety risks.
