Certification
  • CPCCBC4051A - Supervise Asbestos Removal
Course Overview

It is a legal requirement for nominated personnel to supervise the removal process of both friable and non-friable asbestos. Our course is designed so that the participant will have the skills, knowledge and confidence to supervise and ensure the safe removal of friable and non-friable asbestos containing material (ACM), whether it be on a domestic or commercial site.

Ensuring compliance whilst implementing the asbestos removal control plan (ARCP) is paramount to the effective performance of the supervisors role. This includes ensuring and documenting that required air monitoring and other testing and certification processes are conducted by licensed asbestos assessors according to legislation.

Our course covers planning for and supervising the removal process, preparing the work area and the work site, using safe and compliant removal practices, maintaining safety procedures, and supervising the decontamination and removal processes.

In order to supervise the removal of asbestos, you will need to hold either a class A or class B licence (depending on what type of asbestos removal you will be supervising). Successful completion of this course is all that is required to be deemed a supervisor, therefore no additional licence is necessary.
