Many states, including Massachusetts, require that anyone who disturbs asbestos, regardless of the amount, be trained by an approved training provider. States typically restrict the amount of ACM that employees can disturb with this training. In some instances this amount is up to three square or linear feet. Activities covered by these requirements usually include general building maintenance, electrical and low voltage wiring, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, HVAC and heating service. This seminar is designed for custodial and maintenance personnel and the building trades. Information in this course includes the topics provided in the Asbestos Awareness course, as well as the following: federal and state regulations, control techniques, personal protective equipment, proper work practices, and minimizing exposures to asbestos in buildings.

Asb. Designer

This three-day course is specifically for those who design specifications for asbestos response actions. Accreditation as a Project Designer allows one to apply knowledge of building construction in the design and development of abatement projects, abatement specifications, bidding documents, architectural drawings, and schematic representations of material locations. Designers may also determine how asbestos abatement should be conducted. A response action includes removal, enclosure, encapsulation, repair, or operations and maintenance activities, but excludes small-scale short duration projects.

Asbestos Project Monitor

A Project Monitor functions as the on-site representative of the facility owner or other persons to interpret project specifications or abatement plans, monitor, and evaluate contractor or employee compliance with applicable rules, regulations, or specifications. This includes collecting air samples at the abatement project sites, and insuring abatement projects are properly conducted. The monitor also collects the clearance air monitoring samples, and must not be an employee of the asbestos contractor. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and New York license 'project monitors' who check contractor compliance with applicable regulations and specifications. Some states require the Contractor/Supervisor training as a prerequisite for licensing as Project Monitors. Additional requirements may include training in air sampling and analysis, or experience in the field.

Confined Space Entry

Haz. Confined Space8 hr;Entry

This Confined Space Entry course is taught in eight hours. Many workplaces contain areas that are considered 'confined spaces' because while they are not necessarily designed for people, they are large enough for workers to enter and perform certain jobs. A confined space also has limited or restricted means for entry or exit and is not designed for continuous occupancy. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to: tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, ductwork, pipelines, etc. OSHA uses the term 'permit-required confined space' (permit space) to describe a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; contains a material that has the potential to engulf an entrant; has walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward and taper into a smaller area which could trap or asphyxiate an entrant; or contains any other recognized safety or health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or heat stress. Workers have a right to a safe workplace. The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers, and to be trained for the work that they will be performing.

Fall Protection

Fall Protection

Falls are among the most common causes of serious work related injuries and deaths.  Employers must set up the work place to prevent employees from falling off of overhead platforms, elevated work stations or into holes in the floor and walls.  OSHA requires that fall protection be provided at elevations of four feet in general industry workplaces, five feet in shipyards, six feet in the construction industry and eight feet in long shoring operations.  

 

In addition, OSHA requires that fall protection be provided when working over dangerous equipment and machinery, regardless of the fall distance. OSHA requires employers to:

 

• Train workers about job hazards in a language that they can understand.
•  Select and provide required personal protective equipment at no cost to workers.
•  Keep floors in work areas in a clean and, so far as possible, a dry condition.
•  Provide working conditions that are free of known dangers.

 

This course is taught in four hours.

Globally Harmonized System (GHS)

GHS

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This update to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) provides a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets. Once implemented, the revised standard will improve the quality and consistency of hazard information in the workplace, making it safer for workers by providing easily understandable information on appropriate handling and safe use of hazardous chemicals.  The first compliance date of the revised HCS is December 1, 2013. By that time, employers must have trained their workers on the new label elements and the SDS format. This training is needed early in the transition process since workers are already beginning to see the new labels and SDSs on the chemicals in their workplace. To ensure employees have the information they need to better protect themselves from chemical hazards in the workplace during the transition period, it is critical that employees understand the new label and SDS formats. This course is taught in four hours.
