Frequently Asked Questions

What asbestos training is required in New Zealand?

Workers carrying out licensed asbestos work in New Zealand must hold the appropriate NZQA unit standard qualifications, and licensed removal is overseen by WorkSafe NZ. Match the training to the class of work (Class A or Class B) being carried out.

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.
