Non-Friable Asbestos Removal Training

This Course of competency specifies the outcomes required to remove non-friable asbestos containing material (ACM). It includes preparing, containing and removing non-friable ACM, and knowledge of decontamination and disposal requirements.

When asbestos containing materials (ACM) are present, or even suspected of being present in the workplace, only qualified personnel are permitted to safely manage or remove it.

Any worker removing more than 10m² of non-friable (also known as ‘bonded’) asbestos must be appropriately trained, as outlined in the Work Health & Safety Regulation 2011 and the Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos.

Non-friable asbestos materials include asbestos cement sheeting, often called fibro, used in many buildings before 1990. The sheeting was used for cladding, roofs and fences and can often be found as backing boards in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

This non-friable asbestos removal course is a legal requirement for workers who need to remove more than 10m² of non-friable asbestos.
