Description

Asbestos Awareness Training Overview:

Asbestos refers to a set of naturally occurring minerals composed of thin, needle-like fibers. These fibers are strong and heat resistant, making them ideal for use in a variety of construction materials. Unfortunately, when these materials are disturbed or damaged, the asbestos fibers can be released into the air and inhaled by people nearby. This can lead to a number of serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Asbestos awareness training is designed to educate workers about the dangers of asbestos exposure and how to avoid it.

• The history of asbestos and its uses
