Asbestos Awareness Training & Custom On-site Training Asbestos Course
Asbestos Awareness Training (AAT) is essential for workers who may come in contact with materials potentially containing asbestos in their workplace.
Hazmat Plus can conduct comprehensive Asbestos Awareness Training and other customised WHS training on-site or in our offices to ensure your company complies with WH&S legislation and protects employees and community members from risks associated with asbestos.
Many companies require staff to carry out asbestos testing training before commencing employment and in some cases to work on specific job sites. Please note, Hazmat Plus is not able to provide ACT workers with AAT.
