WHS / Asbestos Training
Workplace Health and Safety Training
Industry, Legislation and Education have different requirements when it comes to Workplace Health and Safety. While the purposes of these courses are different they are complementary, not contradictory.
Scorpion offer a range of training courses that are not part of the Nationally Recognised training curriculum.
These include WorkSafe WA approved programs and non-accredited programs that include specialist knowledge in the areas of Work Health & Safety or Asbestos.
While this industry training does not provide any direct credit status to nationally recognised training, it can provide an introduction to the domain of WHS. If you are interested in gaining a formal qualifcation in the specialist field of WHS please refer to the courses listed in Work Health & Safety Qualifications.
Asbestos Courses

A Restricted Asbestos Licence (RAL) is required by law in Western Australia for the removal of materials that contain non-friable asbestos. Holding a current license allows you individually as a Contractor or your company to remove amounts exceeding 10m2 of bonded (non-friable) asbestos. This licence is monitored and issued by WorkSafe WA, but prior training is required to apply for the licence. Please contact WorkSafe WA for information.
