A course to meet the training requirements of MDHS 100.

Employers and property owners will soon be required by law to ‘manage’ asbestos in premises to minimise the risk of exposure to workers and occupants.

Following successful completion of this course attendees should be able to effectively undertake an asbestos survey, collect bulk samples for analysis, carry out a material assessment and produce information to assist the employer formulate an asbestos management plan.
