Asbestos is a term for a group of minerals made of microscopic fibers. If you breathe in these fibers, they can damage your lungs.

Anyone who has even the slightest chance of being exposed to asbestos fibers at work must have asbestos awareness training. This is mandatory for those applying for an asbestos licence.

Asbestos is incredibly dangerous if disturbed, therefore anyone who may come into contact with asbestos fibers at work must be given adequate information, instruction, and training. Applicants looking to apply for an asbestos licence must have completed asbestos awareness training before applying for an asbestos licence.

No. Only occasional work which is of low intensity (e.g. the concentration of asbestos does not exceed 0.6 fibers per cm³ over a 10-minute period) is exempt from needing a licence.
