Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos is still found in many older buildings, and disturbing it can release fibers that cause lung disease and cancer decades later. This course covers where asbestos-containing materials are found, the health hazards of exposure, and OSHA’s asbestos standards. Learners also cover safe work practices and how to respond when asbestos is suspected or disturbed. Ideal learners include maintenance, renovation, and custodial employees who work in older buildings.
