This 4-hour course equips construction workers and allied industry professionals with essential competencies to safely identify asbestos containing materials and implement appropriate control measures. Ideal for tradespeople, apprentices, and workers in construction, electrotechnology, gas, and water industries.
Entrants must hold NAT11084001 Identify and report asbestos containing materials (or successors), or completed NAT11004001 Identify asbestos containing materials and follow Safety and reporting procedures (or successors), or completed an approved training course. Additionally, applicants must hold a trade-level qualification in construction or allied industry, be employed in an ancillary industry occupation where drilling or penetrating asbestos-containing materials is incidental to their occupation, or be currently undertaking an apprenticeship in construction or allied trade. A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is required to study at CIT.
The course covers identification of asbestos containing building materials, implementation of necessary control measures before performing work that may liberate asbestos fibres, safe drilling, penetrating, cutting and fixing to asbestos containing material (ACM), and performance criteria for competency assessment. Practical focus on working with asbestos cement sheeting and other asbestos containing materials in residential dwellings, commercial premises, and industrial facilities. The unit applies to workers in the Electrotechnology, Gas, Water and Construction industries as well as ancillary occupations.
CIT is a registered training organisation (RTO Code 0101) delivering nationally accredited qualifications that meet Work Health and Safety Act requirements across all Australian states and territories. The course completion enables graduates to obtain a Working Safely with Asbestos Containing Materials Competency Card from CIT that meets current regulatory requirements. CIT offers flexible scheduling with multiple start dates throughout the year and provides subsidised training options for eligible ACT construction industry workers through the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Authority (TFA).
On successful completion, tradespersons will be able to identify asbestos containing materials and implement necessary control measures before performing work that may involve activity that will potentially liberate asbestos fibres. This competency is essential for workers in construction, electrotechnology, gas, and water industries, as well as ancillary occupations. Graduates can work safely with existing asbestos cement sheeting and other asbestos containing materials in residential dwellings, commercial premises, and industrial facilities, significantly enhancing their employability and workplace safety compliance.
