Asbestos Awareness Certificate Course

Vital Safety Training for Utility, Construction, and Trade Professionals

The Asbestos Awareness Training is an essential first step for any professional who may encounter hazardous materials during their work activities. Because asbestos fibers pose a severe risk to long-term health, understanding how to identify and avoid exposure is a critical site requirement. Furthermore, this half-day program investigates where asbestos is typically found in modern and legacy infrastructure.

Consequently, this training empowers workers to recognize hazards and develop simple strategies for controlling risks. While this “awareness” course provides life-saving information, please note that it does not legally qualify individuals to remove or handle asbestos materials directly.

Ground Workers & Demolition Teams: Personnel working on utility networks or site clearances

Construction & Maintenance Staff: General tradespeople, joiners, plasterers, and roofers.

HVAC & Telecommunications Engineers: Heating, ventilation, and computer installers.
