You wouldn't (at least, you shouldn't) choose jandals to climb a snow and ice covered mountain. Why would you settle for generalised training when it comes to asbestos?
Having worked across a vast range of projects, I have a good appreciation for what you need. I will also LISTEN to what you want to get out of training. Sometimes, I'm just a fresh voice to drive an important message home.
As someone who meets all the requirements for assessing NZQA asbestos units, my training is not just relevant, based in the real world and full of humour; it is compliant.
I have tried to break it all down for you! If you can't find what you are after, give me a shout CONTACT ALANNAH.
Tradies are the highest risk group of workers at present for exposure to asbestos or causing exposure to others.
I doubt anyone is doing that on purpose.
I'm here to clear up any misconceptions and make sure you leave my training with practical steps to be safe and compliant.
Contact me to learn more about what training you need for:
Maintenance work (inc HVAC, facilities teams), electricians, plumbers, drainlayers, civil, builders, tradies, demolition/ deconstruction, consulting engineers, waste centres/ landfill.
Asbestos removal is heavily regulated. Navigating the licencing requirements can be challenging when all you want to do is get rid of asbestos.
Before booking asbestos removal training, double check you a meeting the regulatory requirements as there might be a few hoops to jump through: Worksafe Website
Contact me to learn more about training for:
Unlicenced asbestos removal, non friable removal (NZQA - Class B), friable removal (NZQA - Class A), asbestos removal supervisors (NZQA)
Being a PCBU of a workplace involves juggling a lot of pressing responsibilities, asbestos is just one of many. Or being a project manager and someone mentions asbestos can make you regret your life choices.
Dealing with asbestos is necessary, but I get how it is another headache.
Let me help... with of course training! I will tailor training specific to your needs, so contact me if you need to:
Plan projects with asbestos in mind; have people carrying out maintenance in a building(s) you manage; sort some asbestos removal; deal with access to contaminated areas; or anything else you can think of.
Thanks for asking - more people need to do their due diligence on who is is providing them training!
I have been an asbestos surveyor, lab analyst and assessor since 2012. In that time, I have worked with many stakeholders to deliver projects. This gives me a solid understanding of what people need from their training.
Since 2020, I followed my passion for sharing asbestos knowledge into training. In 2021, I started delivering NZQA unit standard training, contracting to Private Training Establishments as their subject matter expert.
Over time, I have become the leader in this space in New Zealand.
Qualifications:
New Zealand Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Teaching
BOHS Proficiency Certificates: P401, P402, P403, P404
NZQA unit standards: 29765, 29766, 29767
Worksafe NZ Licenced Asbestos Assessor AA18090116
I have more detail about my experience & qualifications on the About page.
Absolutely - I can do any training anywhere in NZ. For asbestos awareness, I can even offer the training online via webinar, or through my trusted partner, Asbestos Aware for eLearning.
For asbestos removal training, practical assessment is necessary. Making the practical as close to real life as possible is super important, in my opinion.
If you can provide the space and equipment, I will bring the training scenarios to life.
