Additional Information

1-Hour Asbestos / Lead Awareness Course Training Details

Asbestos and lead aren’t always obvious, they often hide in walls, ceilings, old pipes, and painted surfaces. When disturbed, these materials release particles that can harm workers and their families. Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to long-term respiratory diseases like asbestosis or mesothelioma, while lead exposure can cause neurological damage and other severe health problems.

This training addresses immediate and long-term dangers. Participants will learn where asbestos and lead commonly appear on construction sites and how everyday tasks like drilling or demolition can release harmful particles. By understanding these hazards, workers can take steps to prevent exposure.

Practical Safety Guidance You Can Apply Immediately

The course provides actionable advice that participants can use right away, such as how to inspect job sites before starting work and ensure proper containment of hazardous materials. Workers will learn the importance of decontaminating tools and clothing to prevent bringing toxins home. The training also covers essential personal protective measures like wearing gloves, respirators, and coveralls when working near dangerous materials.

Who Benefits from This Training?

This course is essential for anyone working in construction, including laborers, foremen, project managers, and supervisors.
