Melbourne’s extensive construction, renovation and property maintenance sectors continue to encounter asbestos-containing materials in residential, commercial and industrial buildings constructed before 1990. Fibro sheeting, asbestos cement products and other ACM remain common throughout older suburbs, creating ongoing demand for appropriately trained asbestos removal workers.
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 Victorian occupational health and safety requirements. Delivered face-to-face by AlertForce, this asbestos removal course Melbourne workers trust also serves as a leading asbestos removal course Victoria workers choose to support employment opportunities in asbestos removal, demolition, renovation, construction and property maintenance throughout the state.
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 but are not undertaking removal work may instead require AlertForce’s Asbestos Awareness Training. Workers exposed to multiple hazardous materials can also benefit from completing Silica Awareness Training.
