This
course is designed to meet the OSHA requirements for a “competent
person” and/or a “certified supervisor” and the EPA
requirement for an “accredited supervisor”. OSHA requires this
course for asbestos consultants and site surveillance technician
certification. EPA requires at least one person with this training
to be present during any renovation or
demolition work that disturbs asbestos (small maintenance jobs may
be exempted).
A
comprehensive discussion of the practices and procedures used in
asbestos abatement work is provided in this course and included
three days of lecture and 2 days of hands-on workshops. By the end
of the course the attendee will recognize asbestos applications,
comprehend the health hazard potential and understand the principals
of work practices to work safely and efficiently with asbestos in a
manner that will safeguard personal and public exposure.
Initially
designed for the accreditation of abatement contractors, this course
also provides building owners, health and safety professionals and
regulatory agency personnel with the basic information needed to
interact successfully with experienced industrial
hygienist/consultants and abatement firms.
