If you’re working in construction, demolition or trades, completing your Asbestos Awareness Certificate online could be one of the most important career moves you make. Asbestos, though banned in Australia since 2003, still lingers in millions of homes, buildings and worksites, posing a silent yet deadly threat. By completing a trusted online course, you’ll gain the confidence and job-ready know-how to identify asbestos hazards and avoid exposure, without ever setting foot in a classroom.
Why Asbestos Awareness Still Matters
Understanding where asbestos is commonly found, like in roofing, insulation, wall panels and old piping, is critical in the construction and renovation business. Too often, workers are unknowingly exposed because the material blends seamlessly into older structures especially if it has been plastered over.
Our online course is designed to equip professionals like plumbers, labourers, electricians and handypersons with life-saving knowledge that meets real-world needs. With Edway Training, you’ll learn how to spot asbestos, understand its health implications and follow correct procedures to minimise risk – all at your own pace.
Know Where Asbestos Hides
This certificate course is designed to support compliance with your organisation’s internal safety processes and may be a requirement in some workplace settings. We recommend checking with your employer before enrolling to ensure this certificate meets their expectations. The course is informative, easy to follow and taught in plain language. You won’t be lumbered with confusing jargon or drawn-out modules. It’s safety training, streamlined.
What The Asbestos Awareness Certificate Covers
Our course includes essential topics such as:
- The history and types of asbestos
- Legal responsibilities under Australian workplace law
- The difference between friable and non-friable materials.
- What a site’s Asbestos Management Plan should include
- How to respond if asbestos is suspected.
Crucially, we highlight how to avoid exposure using proper PPE, hygiene practices and common-sense procedures. It’s a practical investment in your career or the safety of you and your team.
When You’ll Need Accredited Asbestos Removal Training
This online program does not replace accredited removal training. If your role requires you to actually remove asbestos, we strongly advise enrolling in our nationally approved courses for Non-Friable Asbestos Removal or Supervise Asbestos Removal. These are offered in both Melbourne and Sydney and include hands-on assessments under expert guidance.
