Section 05 / Why It Matters
Silica dust is everywhere.
Silica is a widespread workplace hazard across construction, manufacturing, stonework, road works, and mining. Breathing in silica-containing dust can build up in the lungs and scar them — causing silicosis, a serious and irreversible respiratory disease.
1
It's found in everyday materials
Concrete, brick, tile, stone, mortar, and many manufactured products contain crystalline silica that becomes hazardous when disturbed.
2
Symptoms develop over years
Silicosis often shows no symptoms in early stages. By the time it’s diagnosed, lung damage is permanent.
3
Prevention is the only protection
Awareness, proper controls, and the right PPE are the only effective protections — and they start with understanding the risk.

This Silica Awareness training is provided 100% online for your convenience. After enrolment, you’ll receive immediate access credentials via email.
You have 30 days from the date of registration to complete the course. Most participants complete it in 1–2 hours of focused study. The course includes interactive content and a final assessment to confirm understanding.
On completion, your Statement of Completion is issued and emailed to you.
While this is a non-accredited awareness course, the knowledge gained applies to workers across many industries and supports career pathways including:
- Supervisory roles within metalliferous mining
- Coal mining
- Drilling & mining exploration
- Civil construction
- LNG projects
- Stone Industry
- Road works
If you’re working toward a supervisory or specialised role in any of these areas, this course is a useful foundation. For nationally recognised training in risk management, see our G1, G8, G9 Online Refresher.
Accredited training is nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework. On completion, you receive a Statement of Attainment that’s recognised by all employers, regulators, and other RTOs.
Non-accredited training (like this course) is delivered to industry standards but isn’t part of the national framework. On completion, you receive a Statement of Completion — evidence that you’ve completed the training, useful for workplace induction or awareness purposes, but not equivalent to a nationally recognised qualification.
If your worksite or employer specifically requires nationally recognised silica training, you’ll need course 10830NAT. Call us on 07 5593 8268 to discuss options.
We provide reasonable adjustments and additional support for students who need it, including:
- Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) support during course delivery
- Reasonable adjustments for students with disability or specific learning needs
- Wellbeing support — referrals to Beyond Blue, Lifeline, and other appropriate services if you’re experiencing personal difficulties
- Trainer support throughout your course
Contact our team before enrolment to discuss any support needs — we’ll work with you to ensure you’re set up to succeed.
Standard refund and cancellation policy applies. Full details are available on our Refund Policy page — please review before enrolling.
