Asbestos Awareness in Construction

This two hour course, together with additional, 'site specific' information, was designed to meet the annual OSHA (1926.1101) and AHERA regulatory requirements in one easy to understand course.

Asbestos awareness training is required upon initial assignment and annually for employees whose work activities may contact asbestos containing materials (ACM) or presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACM), but do not disturb ACM or PACM during their work activities (Class IV operations).

Note: Workers who perform activities that will result in the disturbance of ACM must receive additional training.
