Asbestos Awareness

Our Asbestos Awareness courses are designed especially for custodial, maintenance, and trades persons who will conduct operations which may contact or disturb asbestos in buildings. It is intended to review the source and history of asbestos, and the health effects associated with asbestos exposure. We will discuss the regulations, both federal and state, which limit the activities you may perform relating to asbestos. Finally, we will discuss recognizing damaged and deteriorated asbestos-containing materials. This course also requires that employees be made aware of the locations and quantities of asbestos materials in the building, and the name of the Asbestos Program Manager for the facility where they work.
