Asbestos and Silica Courses
Silica Awareness Training
$60
-
This non-accredited silica awareness course is designed for workers, supervisors and others who may be exposed to respirable crystalline silica (RCS), or who oversee activities that could generate or disturb silica dust. This includes work involving materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles, mortar, stone, sand and other silica-containing products.
The course is relevant to a wide range of industries and work environments, including construction, manufacturing, mining and resources, maintenance, transport operations and dental laboratories.
Participants will learn where crystalline silica may be found, the ways direct and secondary exposure can occur, and how risks can be effectively controlled. The course helps workplaces provide information and training about silica hazards and safe work practices, while giving participants the knowledge to recognise risks, make safer decisions and contribute to a prevention-focused safety culture.
This awareness course does not replace any task-specific training, instruction, supervision or competency requirements that may apply to particular work activities. This course is expected to take approximately 1 - 1.5 hours to complete.
This timeframe is an estimate only. Individuals with prior experience in similar training may complete the online component in less time, while those new to the subject may need more time to complete all the learning content and theory questions.

Silica and Asbestos Awareness Training
$80

This non-accredited Asbestos and Silica Awareness Course Set is designed for workers, supervisors and others who may encounter asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or be exposed to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) during their work. It is relevant across construction, demolition, renovation, maintenance, manufacturing, resources, transport, cleaning, installation and other environments where asbestos or silica-containing materials may be present or disturbed.
The course set covers where asbestos and crystalline silica may be found, how direct and secondary exposure can occur, associated health risks, relevant workplace information and procedures, and how exposure can be prevented.
Participants learn to recognise potential hazards, apply appropriate silica dust controls, and respond safely when asbestos is suspected by stopping work, avoiding further disturbance and reporting the concern.
This course set may support workplace asbestos and silica information, instruction and training arrangements. It is non-accredited and does not authorise participants to handle, disturb, sample, clean up or remove asbestos or suspected ACM, undertake licensed asbestos work, or perform silica-related work without the controls, training and authorisation required for the task.
This course is expected to take approximately 2 hours to complete.
This timeframe is an estimate only. Individuals with prior experience in similar training may complete the online component in less time, while those new to the subject may need more time to complete all the learning content and theory questions.

This non-accredited asbestos awareness course is designed for workers, supervisors and others who may encounter asbestos or asbestos-containing materials during their work, or who oversee activities in areas where asbestos may be present.
This includes construction, demolition, renovation, repair, maintenance, cleaning, inspection, installation and emergency response work.
Participants will learn what asbestos is, where it may be found, the ways direct and secondary exposure can occur, and what to do if asbestos is suspected, identified or accidentally disturbed.
The course helps participants recognise potential asbestos risks, follow workplace procedures, report concerns and make safe decisions that prevent asbestos fibres from being released or inhaled.
The course also helps workplaces provide workers with appropriate information, instruction and training about asbestos risks and safe work procedures.
Please note: This awareness course does not authorise participants to identify asbestos through sampling, remove or dispose of asbestos-containing materials, or undertake asbestos-related or licensed asbestos removal work. This course is expected to take approximately 1 hour to complete.
This timeframe is an estimate only. Individuals with prior experience in similar training may complete the online component in less time, while those new to the subject may need more time to complete all the learning content and theory questions.
