The Licensed Asbestos New Scaffolding Operative course is designed for scaffolders who are required to work on licensed asbestos removal sites and need essential awareness training before entering these environments.
This half-day course provides scaffolders with the knowledge required to work safely on licensed asbestos removal sites without directly carrying out asbestos removal activities.
The course focuses on understanding asbestos risks, licensed site controls, enclosure awareness, and safe working practices specific to scaffolding tasks. It ensures scaffolders understand how their work may impact asbestos containment systems and how to minimise risk to themselves and others.
This course does not qualify learners to remove asbestos and is intended solely as awareness and entry training for scaffolders working on licensed asbestos projects.
