Description

Asbestos Hazard Awareness

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that naturally resists heat and corrosion. Due to its strength and durability, asbestos was commonly used in building materials and vehicle parts through most of the 20th century. Due to its dangerous health effects, asbestos was largely phased out, starting around 1980. But because it was used so commonly before that, there are still many places asbestos can be encountered. It is important to be aware if you are working in an area that contains, or has the potential to contain, asbestos.

When learners have competed this course, they should be able to identify the basics of asbestos and identify standard exposure control measures.

Course Topics

  • Identify the basics of asbestos

Who needs Asbestos Hazard Awareness Training?

This awareness-level course is for people who work in areas with asbestos-containing material or presumed asbestos-containing material and need to know how to avoid disturbing it. High-risk activities such as mining asbestos, manufacturing asbestos-containing material and remediation of asbestos or removal of asbestos-containing material require extensive additional training.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is asbestos hazard awareness training?

Asbestos Hazard Awareness Training teaches workers how to recognize potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), understand the health risks associated with asbestos exposure, and follow safe work practices to avoid disturbing asbestos in the workplace. The course focuses on awareness and prevention rather than asbestos removal.

Who should take this asbestos awareness course?

This course is designed for employees who work in or around areas where asbestos-containing materials may be present. It is ideal for maintenance personnel, custodial staff, contractors, construction workers, facility employees, supervisors, and anyone who may encounter asbestos during normal job duties.

Does this course qualify me to remove or remediate asbestos?

No. This is an awareness-level training course only. It helps learners recognize asbestos hazards and understand exposure prevention measures, but it does not certify participants to perform asbestos abatement, remediation, sampling, or removal activities. Additional specialized training is required for those tasks.

What topics are covered in the course?

The course covers the basics of asbestos, common locations where asbestos may be found, potential health effects of exposure, and standard exposure control measures. Participants learn how to recognize asbestos hazards and avoid activities that could disturb asbestos-containing materials.

How long does the training take?

The online Asbestos Hazard Awareness course takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete, allowing learners to quickly gain essential hazard awareness information at their own pace.

Is this course OSHA compliant?

The course is based on OSHA's Asbestos Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1001, and provides awareness-level training for employees who may encounter asbestos in the workplace. Employers should evaluate whether additional site-specific or job-specific training is required for their workforce.

Are there any prerequisites?

No prerequisites are required. Anyone seeking basic asbestos hazard awareness can enroll and complete the course.

Is the course available online?

Yes. This is a fully online, self-paced e-learning course that can be accessed 24/7 from a computer, tablet, or mobile device with an internet connection.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a Certificate of Completion that can be downloaded for training records and documentation purposes. Certificates are issued after payment requirements have been satisfied.

Why is asbestos awareness important?

Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can lead to serious health conditions, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Because asbestos may still be present in many older buildings and facilities, awareness training helps workers recognize potential hazards and avoid accidental exposure.
