Starting December 19th, 2025, the Swedish Work Environment Authority will introduce new training requirements for everyone who enters premises where asbestos fibers may occur. The reason is simple: even very small amounts of asbestos fibers can cause serious and life-threatening diseases.
We now offer a basic training course that ensures everyone who may come into contact with asbestos fibers has the right competence to work safely and comply with the Work Environment Authority’s new requirements.
Our digital training is designed for those who may come into contact with asbestos in their work, such as construction workers, supervisors, or project managers. In short, anyone who enters premises where asbestos fibers may occur. The training meets all requirements in AFS 2023:13 and the new requirement AFS 2025:6.
We understand that the new legal requirement may have come quickly and created uncertainty. Therefore, we offer a flexible and affordable solution including a price guarantee that maintains high quality so you can easily meet the Work Environment Authority’s requirements. We match lower prices and deduct an additional 5%. Just send us the link or the quote.

Asbestos is a collective term for several minerals made up of thin, strong, and heat-resistant fibers. Asbestos was previously widely used as a building material but is now banned because inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases, including cancer. Dangerous asbestos fibers are released into the air if asbestos fibers are broken or demolished incorrectly.
The new regulations tighten training requirements, lower the exposure limit, introduce stricter risk assessments, and clarify the responsibilities of employers and employees.
Everyone who is exposed or at risk of being exposed to asbestos. This affects an estimated 700,000 people in Sweden in construction, demolition, installation, industry, and more.
Before the employee performs any work tasks where there is a risk of asbestos exposure.
The Swedish Work Environment Authority may issue injunctions, prohibitions, and in some cases penalty fees. The employer is responsible for ensuring that no one works without the correct competence.
No. There is no stated transition period. The regulations can be applied and enforced immediately once they take effect.
Yes. People who are exposed or at risk of exposure must undergo medical examinations according to AFS 2023:13 and the amendments in AFS 2025:6.
Employers must plan work more carefully, ensure better protective measures, and conduct measurements more frequently to keep exposure below the new limit.
Access is granted starting 1 December 2025.
The new regulations apply from December 19th, 2025, according to AFS 2023:15, AFS 2023:13, and the new requirement AFS 2025:6.
Applies to all industries where asbestos may occur (construction, property management, HVAC, industry, demolition, etc.).
Covers everyone who enters premises where asbestos fibers may occur, not only those working directly with asbestos, e.g., painters and janitors.
The stricter asbestos rules affect over 700,000 professionals in Sweden.
The new exposure limit is lowered from 0.1 to 0.01 fibers/cm³ — a fivefold tightening. Requirements are also tightened for training, risk assessment, work methods, measurements, and medical examinations.
