Asbestos Awareness Videotape
Program has been created
specifically to educate
employees about the dangers of
working with materials that
may contain Asbestos. In
August of 1994, OSHA issued 29
CFR 1910.1101... 'Occupational
Exposure to Asbestos.' This
regulation requires that all
employees who could come into
contact with materials that
might contain Asbestos be
given appropriate training on
working safely in these
situations. Employees are
divided into four classes.
Classes I - III are employees
whose work involves
'installing' or 'disturbing'
materials that might contain
Asbestos. However, the largest
group of employees covered by
this regulation fall into the
Class IV group, which involves
employees that get involved
in... 'maintenance and
custodial activities to clean
up waste and debris containing
these type of materials.'
Since many materials commonly
used in buildings for many
years (including ceiling
tiles, vinyl flooring, and
wall and pipe insulation)
contain Asbestos, this means
that the regulation applies to
virtually every custodial,
janitorial and maintenance
worker in the country. The
Videotape provides the
majority of the information
needed to satisfy the training
requirements for Class IV
employees under the OSHA
regulation. The Videotape
includes information on
hazards of asbestos, OSHA's
asbestos standard, composition
and nature of asbestos, types
of materials that may contain
asbestos, and where they are
encountered, limiting exposure
to asbestos, how to protect
yourself when disturbing a
material that may contain
asbestos, air monitoring and
decontamination, and more.
