Asbestos Awareness Training

 

It happens more often than we think. Crack open a wall cavity and low and behold an unknown substance hiding

in the recesses of this old building.  Is it Fibreglass – kafco – or that thing that shall not be mentioned? Asbestos.

 It can happen to home owners renovating their own homes, electricians, plumbers, air conditioning installers,

builders and maintenance workers and demolition people.  In fact anyone that may work on an existing building

that needs work on the substrata.

Would you know what you are looking at? 

We offer courses in asbestos awareness.  You and your workers can find out where asbestos may be located in a

building, what it looks like and how to deal with it.  A 2–3 hour presentation with photos and actual samples of product

will help in the identification of what may be hiding in that riser shaft or wall cavity.

We can come to you and deliver it on site. All that is needed is a blank wall and enough room for everyone to sit comfortably.  

Or you can come to us.

Charges are to cover costs only -and at $10.00 per person for the paperwork

and then costs (time and travel) it is an inexpensive training option. 

With over 20 years experience specializing in asbestos issues, these courses are informative and helpful. 

Comments, after some presentations, to the question – What has been of greatest value in this presentation?

• Learning of the wide variety of products that asbestos may be present in

 

• Being able to view samples & gain knowledge of where it may be found

 

• Extremely interesting – great to see examples of products and lists of areas where asbestos

could be located – Very very good presentation and information provided

• The presenter used easy to understand language aided by use of samples and detailed

over head projections. If terminology or jargon was used the meaning was explained and the presenter

was always open to questions. The presentation was highly informative and highlighted many product

areas I never knew contained asbestos.

                 

This is a much used presentation having been given to Asbestos removal contractors, city council workers,

Department of labour, Defence forces, Health department PHO’s, Electrical workers, building contractors and

maintenance staff. The presentation evolves as new situations arrive and all discussion is welcomed during the presentation.
