Our Asbestos Awareness Training course is designed to provide general information and guidelines to workers involved in activities where asbestos-containing materials (ACM) may be accidentally disturbed during normal work operations.
During this training you will learn about the mineral “asbestos” and its characteristics, its uses in the ancient times and the industrial era, modes of exposure, and methods of prevention from the hazardous asbestos fibers.
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer.
Some of the benefits of HAZWOPER-OSHA Online Training:

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) require a worker training program for all employees exposed to asbestos fiber levels (either measured or anticipated) at or above the permissible exposure limit (PEL) set by these agencies.
AWARENESS TRAINING
This training is meant for workers involved in cleaning and simple maintenance tasks where ACM may be accidentally disturbed. For example, fixing a light fixture in a ceiling covered with surfacing ACM. Such training may range from 2 to 8 hours. As per the definition of asbestos awareness training, the online training we are about to begin falls into this category.
This course consists of 5 lessons, students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.

The core objective of the Asbestos Awareness Training is to develop a basic understanding of the physical and chemical properties of asbestos, its various types, the health hazards associated with this mineral, and the safe work practices and engineering controls that must be used to minimize exposure to asbestos fibers.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulates the use of asbestos in its regulations:
- 29 CFR 1910.1001 (General Industry Standard)
- 29 CFR 1926.1101 (Construction Standard)
Course Objectives
After course completion the following learning objectives will be achieved:
- Understand EPA and OSHA regulations pertaining to the use of asbestos-containing materials (ACM);
- Describe the mineral “asbestos” and enlist its various types;
- Recognize products and materials which contain asbestos;
- Summarize the physical and chemical properties of asbestos;
- Enlist the various diseases caused by exposure to asbestos fibers;
- Explain why lung cancer is more common in smokers who are exposed to asbestos fibers, as compared to non-smokers;
- Summarize the basic components of an asbestos control program; and
- Understand the safe work practices used to minimize exposure to asbestos fibers.
This course is designed by OSHA Certified Outreach Trainers, and is updated and reviewed as soon as new requirements or regulations are released by OSHA. The course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 (General Industry Standard), 29 CFR 1926.1101 (Construction Standard) regulations.
