Asbestos Awareness
What You’ll Learn
Asbestos Awareness is for workers conducting
housekeeping, maintenance and custodial activities during which ACM
or presumed ACM is contacted but not disturbed; and clean-up activities
for dust, waste and debris resulting from asbestos abatement or operations
and maintenance activities. (US EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response
Act [AHERA] regulation, 40 CFR Part 763) Programs are available
onsite.
This seminar is designed for both General Industry and Construction first line supervision, safety
and health committee members, and management personnel. Topics covered include employee
safety and health training, accident investigation, hazard recognition, and self-inspection techniques.
This program gives tips to supervision on methods to integrate health and safety into their daily
duties and responsibilities. Using MIOSHA General Industry and Construction standards and
required written programs as a baseline, supervisors are given suggestions to improve their safety
and health hazard recognition skills.
Attendees from both the construction and general industry sector will gain an insight into the process
and procedures a MIOSHA compliance officer follows while conducting a workplace inspection.
Topics covered include inspection types, employer/employee rights and responsibilities, how to
respond to citations, and penalty reduction factors. This program will assist employers in preparing
for an inspection and an opportunity to review a sample citation. Hands-on exercises will reinforce
the principles that are discussed in the course.
