National units of competency

• CPCCDE3014 - Remove non-friable asbestos

Assessment for this course includes both theoretical and practical components to ensure participants are competent in all aspects of removing non-friable asbestos. The theory assessment confirms the understanding of legislative requirements, health risks, and safe work procedures.

The practical assessment takes place in a simulated training environment and requires participants to demonstrate their ability to safely carry out the removal of non-friable asbestos. This includes the removal of non-friable asbestos-containing material (ACM), including site preparation, use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), safe removal techniques, decontamination procedures, and disposal methods.

Pinnacle Safefy and Training is an approved SafeWork NSW Training Provider (#800302) for CPCCDE3014 Remove non-friable asbestos (Class B).

Prerequisites

Participants must hold:

• CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry (or equivalent), commonly known as a White Card.

If you do not provide this by the business day prior to your course commencement, your enrolment will be cancelled, and you will not be permitted entry to the course. If this occurs, our terms and conditions will apply and therefore your course fee will not be refunded nor held in credit.

If you need to obtain or renew your White Card, this can be done with us at a discounted rate prior to your training day - see our White Card course here.

NOTE: If your White Card was issued prior to 11 May 2009, we cannot recognise this as a valid prerequisite as it does not prove that you were assessed against the correct unit of competency.
