This Course provides information for work sites, so builders and tradesmen will become more aware of the possible locations where asbestos might be found in residential properties so they can avoid disturbing it and ensure asbestos is managed safely, particularly if undertaking major works.

Asbestos-containing materials can be found in any Australian home built or renovated before 1987.

If asbestos is sealed and in good condition it doesn’t pose a health risk to builders or homeowners. However, without knowing where asbestos-containing products might be located in homes and how to manage asbestos safely, tradesmen risk disturbing asbestos and releasing fibres that could be inhaled and can cause serious asbestos-related diseases.
