Working With Asbestos Course


QBuild requires all its contractors to be asbestos aware and they will soon be requiring trade employees of all their building trade contractors including painters who are working on QBuild work sites to hold B Class asbestos removal certificates.

This requirement will be phased in over the next 12-24 months.

Why will I need to have a B Class asbestos removal certificate?

QBuild, and all its contractors, have a duty of care to their employees. The acquisition of a B Class asbestos removal certificate is the basic level of asbestos training available within the building industry.
