Asbestos and silica are common materials used in building and construction products. Asbestos exposure can lead to the development of mesothelioma, lung cancer and other serious health conditions. Silica exposure can cause silicosis, a potentially fatal lung disease. It is therefore important for workers in the building and construction industry to be aware of the risks associated with these materials and to take steps to protect themselves from exposure. Asbestos and Silica Awareness offers an online course that provides workers in Australia with the knowledge and skills to identify these materials, deal with them safely, and become certified. The course is convenient, affordable, and completely paperless. Certificates are sent directly to participants, and there is no paperwork required.
Asbestos and silica awareness training can help workers to identify products that contain these materials and to understand the best way to deal with them safely. By taking this simple step, workers can help to protect themselves from serious health risks.
