Asbestos and Lead Awareness

MTI Level One Elective Course

Certification/Maintenance Points Available

Half-day Workshop

Cost: $75.00

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Construction trades routinely renovate and demolish buildings that were built prior to 1981.  These construction activities often result in contact with asbestos-containing materials.  General industry employers are also subject to asbestos rules and regulations.  Asbestos Awareness Training is required 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.  Lead is found both in industry and in construction, and poses a threat to all who come into contact with it.  This combined training consists of information regarding asbestos and lead and their various forms and uses.  Training also includes information on the health effects associated with asbestos and/or lead exposure.  Attendees will receive their two-hour, Class IV Asbestos Awareness certification card.
