Asbestos Awareness training is required for maintenance and custodial personnel who may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or be exposed to them while performing cleaning or light maintenance duties. This training must be provided to employees at the start of their job assignment and in annual intervals thereafter.
The purpose of the course is to provide a basic overview of asbestos and its associated hazards in addition to satisfying the employee training requirements under OSHA regulations “Occupational Exposure to Asbestos.” The scope and content of this course is limited to the information essential to this requirement. This course meets both the OSHA Class IV Worker and EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) awareness training.
This training is NOT for those workers that perform asbestos abatement activities and does not provide equipment training for workers required to use personal protective equipment (PPE) on the job site. This is an asbestos awareness course which is very different from Asbestos Abatement Worker, Asbestos Supervisor, Asbestos Inspector, and the NIOSH 582 Asbestos Fibers Sampling courses.
