Implement safe lead paint and asbestos work practices in the painting industry (CPCCPD3031A)
If you’re painting or decorating a property built prior to 1970, then chances are you may disturb paint containing lead, or asbestos sheeting. If not handled safely, these materials can be hazardous to humans and animals.
Professional management of lead and asbestos hazards is crucial. That’s why we offer the following course in lead and asbestos management.

Online combined with face to face (for practical assessment purposes)
Face to face
Both delivery modes utilise MPA Online, our online learning management system.
Online mode
All learning and the theory assessment is completed online through MPA Online followed by the completion of a face to face practical assessment component.
All learners must either attend our facilities at the Construction Training Centre, Salisbury for the practical assessment components or pre-organise for a trainer to conduct a workplace training visit.
Assessment methods
Theory:
Assessments consist of a range of interactive activities including:
- Audio and visual response to scenarios
- Written tests – short answer and multiple choice questions
The theory assessment is completed online prior to the learner attending our facility (or trainer going on site) to complete practical assessment tasks.
The system is self-marking and requires 100% satisfactory performance.
Practical:
The practical assessment component for this unit of competency requires the learner demonstrate theoretical and practical application of knowledge and skills to plan, prepare for and conduct the removal of lead-based paint and containment of or disposal of toxic materials (including lead-based paint and asbestos substrates). Assessment will be conducted using simulation methods to minimise the exposure of learners to toxic substances in the training environment.
