About the course
What this course covers.
This course satisfies Canada's requirement for the classroom portion of asbestos general awareness training, working through the regulations that govern asbestos and why exposure is so dangerous.
It covers classification of asbestos-containing material, elimination of the hazard, and the personal protective equipment required around it.
It closes with medical evaluation requirements and the cleaning and storage practices that keep exposure controlled. On completion, a worker downloads a certificate and an employer checklist for the practical observation.
