TESA Directive Methamphetamine Laboratory Inspection Course
Our TESA Directive Methamphetamine Laboratory Inspection Course provides students with the training and knowledge they required to successfully perform their role to the highest level of industry standards. By completing this course you will obtain TESA Certification.
Methamphetamine is a cheap and straightforward drug to manufacture. As a result, this industry has grown in Australia over the last decade and impacted to the wider community.
Increased spread of Methamphetamine has led to two distinct issues for cleaners and remediators. The first and most significant are properties that have been used to manufacture the drug. While the second are properties known, or suspected, to have had the drug smoked on the premises.
This Course has been put together to cater for those wishing to get into the inspection side of the industry. It is also a good resource for remediators and cleaners wishing to understand the reports and processes. A lot goes into developing a scope of works or works plan for these type of jobs.
