Asbestos Awareness Week

Did you know? Exposure to asbestos can lead to serious health issues, such as lung disease and other respiratory problems. This week, WorkSafe is focusing on raising awareness about the hazards of asbestos and emphasizing the importance of safe handling and removal. At Wood Training, we support these efforts to keep everyone safe.

🔍 What is asbestos?
A group of naturally occurring minerals once widely used in construction for their durability and heat resistance. However, when disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne and inhaled.

🚧 Why is awareness important?
Many older buildings still contain asbestos materials. Proper identification and safe removal are crucial to prevent health hazards.

✅ What can you do?

Check if your home or workplace has asbestos-containing materials
Hire licensed professionals for inspection and removal
Educate others about the risks
Do our Asbestos Awareness online course, if you are really keen.

Fantastic to see New Plymouth Airport New Zealand Firefighters training and the opportunity for the local Taranaki - Fire and Emergency teams to respond like they would in a real life incident. Thanks to all involved in making this happen and I hope to see more joint exercises in the future.
