OSHA Material Specific Non-Friable Removal
This course qualifies individuals to remove certain types of non-friable asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The certification satisfies the OSHA Asbestos in Construction Standard for specific types of Class II removal, allowing flooring and roofing contractors to legally avoid the requirements to become full asbestos abatement contractors. The training focuses on specific removal techniques, cleaning methods, and documentation practices necessary for OSHA compliance.
Course Overview
Course Topics:
- Historical uses of asbestos
- Health effects of asbestos exposure
- Material-specific asbestos removal methods
- Cleaning procedures post-asbestos projects
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and respirator use
- Waste disposal methods
- Job documentation for OSHA compliance
Certification Details:
- The course is eight (8) hours for workers performing labor.
- An additional OSHA requirement is that a licensed asbestos abatement supervisor must be present onsite to oversee and document the project.
- Certification must be renewed annually.
Important Note:
This one-day certification does not qualify an individual or company to remove any friable ACM, such as asbestos-containing insulation, pipe materials, drywall compound, or popcorn ceilings, nor to remove any ACM using methods that render the material non-intact (sanding, grinding, scarifying). While this class allows employees to remove one specific non-friable material without being licensed, they must still follow applicable asbestos removal and disposal techniques to remain compliant with OSHA standards.
