Asbestos – General Training
Asbestos is still present in many buildings. This online course is suitable for anyone who may come into contact with asbestos; it provides the knowledge needed to work safely and comply with the requirements of AFS 2023:13, as well as the stricter regulations taking effect in 2025.
This training is designed for those who do not work specifically with asbestos but still risk exposure to asbestos-containing dust during their work—for example, during renovation or demolition.
According to regulations, the employer must also conduct a practical review of the procedures relevant to the employee's specific tasks. The course provides support for carrying out this review.

You might work, for example, as a construction worker, electrician, tradesperson, supervisor, project manager, property manager, caretaker, HVAC installer, safety representative, or person responsible for the work environment.
