The workplace-based part may include areas such as:
- Activities that may lead to exposure to asbestos
- Safe working methods, control measures and protective measures

Asbestos training and training for asbestos removal, what is the difference?
This course is general asbestos training for people who may be exposed to asbestos or asbestos-containing dust in their work.
For work involving demolition or asbestos removal, other or more extensive training requirements may apply. It is therefore important to base the training need on the actual work tasks being carried out and the level of risk involved.

Frequently asked questions about asbestos training
How much does asbestos training cost?
The current price is shown in connection with the course on the purchase page. For companies that need to train several employees, it may be useful to review the setup, administration and how the training courses will be assigned, not only the price per course.
Is the asbestos training online or on site?
The theoretical part of the asbestos training is completed entirely online. The practical part must be carried out by the employer at the workplace.
Who needs to take general asbestos training?
Anyone who may be at risk of exposure to asbestos in their work needs the right training before work begins. This applies whether exposure may occur frequently or only occasionally.
What is the difference between general asbestos training and training for demolition or asbestos removal?
General asbestos training is aimed at people who may come into contact with asbestos or asbestos-containing dust in their work. For demolition or asbestos removal, other training requirements may apply depending on the nature of the work tasks and the level of risk.
Do all workers in older buildings need to take the training?
If there is a risk of exposure to asbestos, the employer needs to ensure that relevant personnel have the right training before work begins.
Do HVAC installers, electricians and property workers need this training?
Yes, if their work may involve exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing dust. This can apply to installation, service, maintenance, inspection or repair work in buildings where asbestos-containing materials may be present.
Do the requirements also apply to short tasks?
Yes. The requirements are based on the risk of exposure, not on how long the task takes.
What applies to the practical walkthrough at the workplace?
The practical walkthrough must be carried out by the employer and adapted to the work tasks and working methods that are relevant at the workplace. Infobric Academy provides support in the form of a checklist, but the employer is responsible for carrying out and documenting the practical part.
When did the new regulations take effect?
The new regulations took effect on 19 December 2025.
Is the training digital?
Yes. The theoretical part is completed entirely online. The practical part is carried out at the workplace by the employer.
When do I get access to the training?
You get access directly after purchase.
What applies if I buy the training as a private individual?
The theoretical part can be completed digitally, but the practical part must always be carried out and documented by an employer at a workplace where relevant work tasks occur. The training is therefore best suited for people who have, or will have, work tasks where asbestos risk may occur.
Is this asbestos training valid for work in Sweden?
Yes, the training is designed for work in Sweden and is based on Swedish asbestos requirements. It is intended for people who may be exposed to asbestos or asbestos-containing dust in their work.

Is online asbestos training enough?
The theoretical part can be completed online, but asbestos training must also include a practical part. The practical part is carried out by the employer at the workplace and should be adapted to the work tasks, risks and methods used in the business.
Who is responsible for the practical part?
The employer is responsible for carrying out and documenting the practical part. Infobric Academy provides support in the form of a checklist, but the employer must make sure the practical walkthrough reflects the actual workplace, tasks and risks.
Will I receive a certificate after the theoretical part?
