How to Manage and Control Asbestos in the Workplace

APS Training Group prepares individuals and business working in areas with asbestos to effectively manage the associated risks. Our trainers deliver this course based on the model code of practice created by Safe Work Australia, latest version published October 2018.

This program provides contractors and workplace safety officers with practical guidance on minimising risks associated with asbestos and asbestos containing material at the workplace to avoid the incidence of asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.

Students will learn all regulations and legal obligations relating to working in areas with asbestos, equipment use, inspections, licencing, disposal and more.
