Friable Asbestos Removal
Non-Friable Asbestos Removal

Two practical courses, completed on separate training dates

This bundle includes Friable Asbestos Removal and Non-Friable Asbestos Removal. You choose and attend each course separately.

Friable Asbestos Removal

Remove friable asbestosCPCCDE3029 · Statement of Attainment

You learn to remove friable asbestos safely — asbestos in powder form, or that can be crumbled to powder by hand. It is the more hazardous form, and removing it is licensed work at any quantity.

You might be a construction or demolition worker removing friable asbestos for a licensed removalist, or someone working toward a nominated-supervisor role or a Class A licence of your own.

Class A training is one step toward that licence, not the licence itself. SafeWork NSW issues the licence to the business or self-employed person carrying out the removal — never to each worker on site.

  • What you'll learn
  • Prepare for asbestos removal
  • Prepare the removal area and site
  • Enclose the removal site
  • Remove the friable asbestos
  • Carry out decontamination
  • Clean up the work site
  • Complete the regulatory processes
See the Friable Asbestos Removal course

Non-Friable Asbestos Removal

Remove non-friable asbestosCPCCDE3028 · Statement of Attainment

You train to remove non-friable asbestos safely — the bonded material that is not crumbly, and the kind construction and demolition workers meet most often on site.

It is written for the people doing that work: construction and demolition workers taking bonded asbestos off site, and anyone who needs this unit before moving up to Class A friable removal or supervising.

  • What you'll learn
  • Prepare for asbestos removal

Why do these courses?

Friable Asbestos Removal

Class A training is what gets you onto friable asbestos jobs — the highest-risk removal work there is, and a licensed removalist can't put a worker on it without this certification.

  • Asbestos remediation and demolition workerFriable removal is Class A licensed work — you do it for a removalist who holds that licence, or you hold it yourself.

Non-Friable Asbestos Removal

Class B training is what gets you onto bonded asbestos removal jobs — a licensed removalist can't put you on the tools without it, and it's the unit you have to hold before you can go on to Class A or supervising.

Required for

  • Asbestos removal worker (bonded asbestos)Removal work is licensed work — you do it for a licensed removalist, or you hold the Class B licence yourself.
  • Demolition and strip-out workerRemoval work is licensed work — you do it for a licensed removalist, or you hold the Class B licence yourself.
