#asbestos #silica 12th May saw ACV/GARDS conducting an asbestos and silica awareness session to 140 Frankston Chisholm TAFE VET apprentices – 70 students in the morning and 70 students in the afternoon – there were some terrific questions by the VET students and much information was shared between the students and ourselves and their trade teachers – we wish all of them all the best in their chosen trade into the future and they are now much more asbestos and silica aware – pictured here in these photos are some of those VET students 
#asbestos #asbestosawareness #Silica #silicaawareness – Today 22nd March ACV/GARDS did a virtual presentation to TAFE apprentice Painter & Decorators at The Gordon, Geelong campus. It was really great to catch up with their teacher Paul Webb and really good to be able to get to more apprentices and make them asbestos & silica aware – We hope they got a lot out of the session and they can take this info forward into the future in their chosen profession. They now know what are trusted sites to empower them to make the right decisions in their jobs. We wish them the very best for the future 🤞
3rd March 2021 We were delighted to attend in person at TAFE Gippsland – Newborough campus to give a session to 35 apprentice Painter and Decorators on asbestos and silica awareness. The group were very enthusiastic and asked many questions – it was great to have so much interaction through out the session – of course social distancing was adhered to in the auditorium but it was good to be able to be there in person and delivery our info bags and show samples – thank you to Davin for arranging it – ACV/GARDS will be going back in a few months all being well and no COVID lock downs to deliver the session to other trades. We now have moreapprentices asbestos and silica aware 👍😎
