Sydney has Australia’s largest construction and renovation market, with thousands of residential, commercial and industrial buildings constructed before 1990 still containing asbestos-containing materials. Construction workers, demolition crews, renovators, property maintenance teams and infrastructure contractors regularly encounter ACM during refurbishment, maintenance and demolition activities, creating an ongoing need for asbestos removal training Sydney 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 SafeWork NSW requirements. Delivered face-to-face by AlertForce, this asbestos removal course NSW workers trust supports those seeking employment in asbestos removal, demolition, renovation, construction and property maintenance throughout Sydney and regional New South Wales.
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.
