Gain the knowledge and skills to identify asbestos-containing materials and take appropriate action to protect yourself and those around you when handling it.

Asbestos is a mineral containing millions of fibres that was used in building materials up until the late 1980s in Australia but is still used and present in buildings throughout the world, including Indonesia. 

Asbestos fibres can be dangerous when airborne and inhaled, causing scarring of lung tissue (asbestosis) and various cancers. Because of the risk of serious illness, it’s important to know how to identify asbestos on a job site and how to contain it.
