Asbestos Awareness Training – Level 3 develops advanced knowledge for supervisors, managers, contractors, safety personnel, and others responsible for asbestos-related risks. Learners explore asbestos properties, fibre behaviour, exposure risks, asbestos registers, safe work procedures, incident investigation, health surveillance, and specialist contractor coordination. It is relevant to higher-responsibility roles across Canadian construction, maintenance, property, and facilities settings.
The training focuses on managing asbestos risks rather than carrying out removal. Learners develop knowledge of risk controls, presumed asbestos-containing materials, containment, air monitoring, contractor coordination, incident reporting, root-cause analysis, and safety culture to support informed decisions during refurbishment and maintenance projects.
Online, self-paced learning provides flexibility around work and other commitments. The course includes an assessment to check understanding, and successful completion can provide a certificate as a training record. Specific asbestos certification, licensing, and medical-surveillance requirements vary by province, territory, work activity, and applicable authority.

Course Curriculum
The course contains seven focused modules covering asbestos science, regulatory responsibilities, site management, incident investigation, safety culture, and specialist environments.
The introduction establishes the purpose of advanced asbestos awareness training and explains why effective management is important when asbestos-containing materials may be present. Learners are introduced to the responsibilities and risk-management principles developed throughout the course.
This module explores the composition and behaviour of asbestos fibres and how airborne fibres can create occupational health risks. Learners examine fibre behaviour, disease progression, comparisons with other workplace hazards, and the principles behind asbestos detection and sampling.
Learners examine the legal and regulatory responsibilities associated with asbestos management, including duty-holder and contractor responsibilities. UK-specific legislation such as the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE enforcement is considered within its original context, while Canadian learners are directed to the applicable occupational health and safety and asbestos requirements in their jurisdiction.
This module focuses on managing asbestos risks during maintenance, refurbishment, and construction activities. Learners explore asbestos registers, working around presumed ACMs, containment and isolation, air monitoring, licensed or appropriately qualified contractors, and safe systems of work.
Learners develop knowledge of how asbestos-related disturbances and exposure events should be recorded and investigated. The module also explores long-term health monitoring, employer responsibilities where medical surveillance applies, and root-cause analysis to identify weaknesses in existing controls.
This module examines how asbestos awareness can become part of an organisation’s wider safety culture. Learners explore induction training, team awareness, refresher learning, safe behaviours, leadership responsibilities, and the importance of maintaining consistent risk-control practices.
Learners explore asbestos risks associated with confined spaces, heritage buildings, high-risk trades, and complex multi-contractor worksites. The module also examines the roles of asbestos surveyors, analysts, and other specialists and the importance of coordinating activities where multiple parties are involved.
The final module brings together the key principles covered throughout the course, including asbestos science, risk management, regulatory responsibilities, site controls, incident investigation, safety culture, and specialist coordination. Learners consolidate their understanding of the responsibilities involved in managing asbestos-related risks.
FAQs
What does Level 3 asbestos training cover?
Topics can include asbestos properties, fibre behaviour, exposure risks, asbestos registers, safe work systems, containment, air monitoring, incident investigation, health surveillance, contractor coordination, and high-risk environments.
What is an asbestos register?
An asbestos register is a record identifying known or presumed asbestos-containing materials in a building or workplace. It can help people responsible for maintenance, refurbishment, and other work understand where asbestos may be present.
What is presumed asbestos-containing material?
Presumed asbestos-containing material is material treated as containing asbestos until appropriate information, assessment, or testing establishes otherwise.
What is root-cause analysis?
Root-cause analysis is a structured approach to identifying the underlying factors that contributed to an incident rather than focusing only on the immediate event.
Is asbestos training required in Canada?
Requirements vary by province, territory, workplace, and type of asbestos-related activity. Some jurisdictions have specific certification or training requirements for asbestos abatement and other regulated activities.
Can I study Level 3 asbestos training online?
Yes. Online delivery can provide flexible access to asbestos management theory and assessment. Certain regulated asbestos activities may require additional approved training, practical instruction, or competency assessment.
