Asbestos Awareness

Asbestos Awareness Training

Asbestos awareness is a valuable tool for managers, persons in control of a workplace, maintenance contractors, tradespeople and even home renovators or DIYers. At OHMS Asbestos we believe that education is key to preventing the risk of exposure to asbestos.

Our awareness sessions typically last between 2 and 3 hours depending on the group size and can be delivered at a venue of your choice. Utilising a powerpoint presentation and offering open discussion through involvement of experiences and scenarios helps the topic remain relatable to the participants.
