Asbestos Awareness - Program Contents
Who should be concerned about asbestos?
Anyone who might come into contact with asbestos should be
aware of its dangers. Those most likely to encounter asbestos are
construction workers, janitors, custodians, maintenance workers,
plumbers, electricians -- anyone who comes in contact with older
insulation materials. Even their family members can be at risk if
proper decontamination procedures are not followed.
What are the dangers of asbestos?
Asbestos fibers are extremely small and can find their way
into the smallest parts of the lungs, where they cannot be coughed out.
The body's defences try to break them down, but end up causing
inflammation. Ultimately, asbestosis--a serious inflammation of the
lung caused by asbestos--can lead to a cancer called
mesothelioma.
What are employers required to do?
OSHA's "Occupational Exposure to
Asbestos" (29 CFR 1910.1101) 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.
How can this video help?
"Asbestos Awareness" by Marcom has been
created specifically to educate employees about the
dangers of working with materials that may contain
asbestos. The videotape/DVD and employee booklets in the
kit provide the majority of the information needed
to satisfy the training requirements for Class IV
employees under the OSHA regulation.
The videotape/DVD and employee booklets include information on:
- Hazards of Asbestos
- OSHA's Asbestos Standard
- Composition and nature of Asbestos
- Recognition 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
- Temporary measures for repair
- Signage required
- Use of wet methods of cleanup
The kit contains one videotape/DVD, 30 booklets and 5 posters.
The videotape/DVD comes with a comprehensive leader's guide,
reproducible scheduling & attendance form, employee quiz,
training certificate and training log.
Available on VHS or DVD, in English or Spanish.
Program length: 14 minutes
