Asbestos Awareness - Interactive Online/CD-ROM
Training
Course Length: 30 - 45 minutes
High-impact training covering the essentials
of asbestos awareness.
OSHA’s general industry regulation 29 CFR
1910.1001, Occupational Exposure to Asbestos, requires that all
employees who could come into contact with materials that might
contain asbestos be given appropriate training on working safely in
these situations. Employees who manufacture asbestos-containing
products or who repair and replace automotive brakes and clutches may
be exposed to asbestos fibers. In addition, employees engaged in
housekeeping activities in industrial facilities with asbestos
product manufacturing operations, and in public and commercial
buildings with installed asbestos-containing materials may be exposed
to asbestos fibers.
OSHA's construction standard 29 CFR 1926.1101
establishes four classes of construction work involving asbestos.
Classes I - III work involves installing or disturbing materials that
might contain asbestos. However, the largest group of employees fall
into the Class IV group, which involves "maintenance and
custodial activities to clean up waste and debris containing these
type of materials."
Since many materials commonly used in buildings
for many years (including ceiling tiles, vinyl flooring, and wall and
pipe insulation) contain asbestos, this means that OSHA's general
industry regulation applies to virtually every custodial, janitorial,
and maintenance worker engaged in housekeeping activities in the
country.
Asbestos Awareness has been created
specifically to educate employees about the dangers of working with
materials that may contain asbestos.
This training covers the following topics:
Hazards
of asbestos.
OSHA's
Asbestos Standard.
Composition
and nature of asbestos.
Types
of materials that may contain asbestos, and where they are
encountered.
How
to protect yourself when disturbing a material that may contain
asbestos.
Air monitoring and
decontamination.
Using a powerful combination of audio,
full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics, Asbestos Awareness
provides cost-effective, easy-to-use training. It's divided into
topic-based lessons so information is easily understood … and
retained.
