Health and Safety Awareness Courses
Health and Safety Awareness courses are not accredited courses but are short courses on specific areas of health and safety that persons in a workplace may have to deal with or may encounter in the normal course of their work activities.
Many of these courses are "best practice" courses that can serve as evidence of training to demonstrate compliance with WHS law or to satisfy supplier-customer requirements or arrangements.
Silica Awareness Course
Engineered stone has been in the news recently and there are actions being taken by State and Federal government to educate persons on working with crystalline silica substances that are used in producing engineered stone. An awareness course is not for persons who actively work with engineered stone but is for persons who may visit factories or sites where engineered stone is being manufactured, removed, or installed. The Courtenell Silica Awareness course may be helpful for persons who may find themselves in locations or situations where there are people working with engineered stone.
This course is for persons who work in premises with asbestos or who may encounter asbestos in their work, such as in buildings, structures, machinery, or manufactured parts and products.
