Outcomes

Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, it is mandatory to have a minimum level of Asbestos awareness training to all staff who may come in to contact with or be exposed to asbestos contaminated material (ACM).

Undertaken this course will allow compliance with the law as well as piece of mind for all people who routinely come in contact with ACM in their workplace or home.

Computer Based Training

The computer-based training (CBT) module follows the same syllabus but allows greater flexibility for employees to undertake the Asbestos Awareness course.

Candidates can login whenever they have time, and the course can be finished over several sittings making the CBT more flexible than traditional classroom training.

Bespoke Asbestos Awareness Training

If you are organisation with several staff who all undertake the same role or have very specific requirements a bespoke asbestos awareness course may be beneficial to you. The syllabus can be tuned to individual roles (e.g Electrical worker or civils workers) and individual project (e.g largescale construction project) or it can be tuned to your organisations procedures or policies also. Proving staff with bespoke training shows those staff members that your organisation is doing more than ticking a compliance box and really cares about the training and health outcomes of its staff.

More Environmental are used to providing bespoke training solutions to clients throughout New Zealand in the construction, retail, age-care and trades space.
