ASBESTOS TRAINING

Alberta 2-day Asbestos Course

Asbestos worker training is mandatory in Alberta for all workers entering a restricted area due to an asbestos hazard, requiring the successful completion of the asbestos worker course and possession of a valid worker certificate as regulated.  A restricted area is defined as an area of a work site where there is a reasonable chance that the airborne concentration of asbestos, may exceed the occupational exposure limit (0.1 fibres/cc). Government-approved agencies, such as WHS, provide asbestos worker training and issue asbestos worker cards. These cards expire three years from the date of issue and cannot be renewed once expired.

Currently we have no dates scheduled for 2024.  However if you have a group of 8 or more who require training we can arrange a course for your group.  Please call our office (403) 241-6889.
