Course Overview
Asbestos - Practical Assessment is an extensive hands-on course that builds on the core competencies covered in OCHS 1015 and OCHS 1025, combining both skills-based and knowledge-based elements. Training providers assess participants throughout the course to ensure they are adequately prepared for a practical skills test and a certification exam. After completing the course, participants undergo an in-person practical test administered by a qualified assessor to evaluate critical safety skills, followed by a written certification exam that assesses their overall skills and knowledge.
