Delivering site-specific asbestos training across Western Australia

Background

A demolition contractor approached High Risk Training Academy (HRTA) after hearing about the organisation’s strong reputation for delivering practical, high-quality training. HRTA had previously worked with another demolition company, and the positive results from that partnership led this client to get in touch.

The company required specialised asbestos training for its workforce, alongside several additional courses to ensure staff met all safety and compliance requirements. With approximately 50 employees located across multiple sites throughout Western Australia, the client needed a training provider that could deliver consistent, high-quality instruction directly at their workplaces.

HRTA’s mobile training model made it possible to reach workers wherever they were operating, ensuring training could be delivered without disrupting project schedules.

Solution

HRTA worked closely with the client to understand the nature of their work and the environments in which their teams operate. Rather than delivering generic training, the courses were tailored to reflect the specific tasks, equipment and safety challenges the workers encounter on site.

Over a six-month period, HRTA travelled to multiple locations across Western Australia to train around 50 employees. The training focused on practical, real-world scenarios relevant to demolition and asbestos-related work, while also ensuring all compliance and documentation requirements were met.

Where possible, training sessions were conducted with teams together. This approach allowed workers to learn alongside their colleagues and discuss real site situations they encounter in their day-to-day work.

Outcome

By delivering training directly on site and tailoring content to the client’s operational environment, HRTA ensured workers gained knowledge and skills that were immediately relevant to their roles.

The team is now better equipped to manage asbestos-related risks and apply safety procedures in real-world situations. Training together as a group also strengthened collaboration across crews, helping workers build confidence and rely on one another when working in challenging environments.

HRTA’s flexible and practical approach provided the client with a training solution that supported both compliance requirements and safer day-to-day operations.

From our client

A few key points to mention are the ease of booking the onsite training, not only does this suit the turnaround in training but also suits the site personnel as you train group bookings which is very interactive with our multi-cultural team. Our employees have said your training is very clear and direct with your wide range of knowledge making the high-risk training very easy to understand. The service that you and the team have provided to date has been one of the best I’ve encountered in the last 14 years and one that few training facilities can compete with. We will definitely continue using your services and should you have any further training additions please keep me updated as we service a wide variety of industrial sites with site requirements. I just wanted to pass this on Victor - as you have really assisted M1 Contract Services, when asked who I use for training. I always pass on your details and recommend you.
