Asbestos Awareness
OSHA / Safety
Training
Provided by Multi-media Access
This course is intended for all persons who could come into contact with materials that might contain asbestos. The largest group of employees covered by this regulation are maintenance and custodial workers, 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 the regulation applies to virtually every custodial, janitorial and maintenance worker in the country. Delivery formats include CD-ROM, LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet. The course can be customized to meet your site-specific needs. It is currently available in English, but other language tracks can be added.
