Asbestos Training Providers in South Australia, Australia

Organisations delivering asbestos awareness and licensing training.

In South Australia, licensing and training rules for asbestos work are set by SafeWork SA. Workers carrying out removal for a licence holder must hold the unit for the type of work: CPCCDE3014 Remove non-friable asbestos (Class B) or CPCCDE3015 Remove friable asbestos (Class A). Supervisors also need the Supervise asbestos removal unit.

Employers must also train workers who may do asbestos-related work in identifying asbestos and handling it safely, and keep training records for five years after the worker leaves.

SafeWork SA licenses asbestos assessors. The CPCCDE5001 unit, Conduct air monitoring and clearance inspections for asbestos removal work, is a recognised training route to an assessor licence under the WHS Regulations.

For people who only need to recognise asbestos, the nationally accredited 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness covers identifying asbestos materials and reporting them.

Asbestos has been banned across Australia since 31 December 2003, so buildings in South Australia built or renovated before then may still contain it.

Check that a provider is a registered training organisation (RTO) and can issue the exact unit your licence or job requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What asbestos training is required in South Australia?

Workers who may disturb asbestos need nationally recognised training, and licensed removal requires specific units of competency delivered by a registered training organisation (RTO). These units are national, so training completed in South Australia is recognised elsewhere in Australia. Match the units to the licence class (Class A or Class B) you are working toward; SafeWork SA sets out the licensing requirements.

What asbestos training is required in Australia?

Anyone who might encounter asbestos at work needs at least awareness training. If you are doing removal, you need nationally recognised units: CPCCDE3014 for non-friable asbestos and CPCCDE3015 for friable asbestos, both part of the construction training package. Supervisors and assessors have their own additional requirements on top of that. All training must come from a registered training organisation (RTO).

What asbestos training is required in New Zealand?

Under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016, anyone doing asbestos-related work needs appropriate training before they start. That means awareness training for workers who might come across it, and competency-based training for those doing removal. WorkSafe NZ recognises unit standards including 29839 (asbestos removal under supervision). The business (PCBU) is responsible for making sure workers are trained, and training records need to be kept and available for inspection.

How often should asbestos training be refreshed?

There is no fixed refresher period written into Australian law, but the codes of practice say training should be repeated when the type of work changes, when new information comes out, or when a risk assessment shows workers' knowledge may have gaps. In practice, most employers and licensing bodies expect a refresher every two to three years. New Zealand is similar: WorkSafe says training should be reviewed regularly and updated when processes change. Licence holders in both countries have to show ongoing competence at renewal time.
