Asbestos Awareness for Supervisors (CCOHS): Asbestos Training (Course)

This course addresses the critical importance of training employees engaged in asbestos-related work to ensure their safety and the safe handling of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The curriculum covers four distinct classes of asbestos work, ranging from removal projects to maintenance and custodial work. Emphasis is placed on the level-appropriate training requirements, including health effects, recognition of asbestos, protective controls, and the role of competent persons in overseeing asbestos-related activities. The course aligns with ECCC's model accreditation plan, providing hands-on training, examinations, and annual refresher sessions to equip workers with the necessary knowledge and skills for asbestos safety.
