Asbestos (Construction) Online Course

Overview
Construction workers engaged in construction work where asbestos-containing materials are present or are presumed to be present (ACM and PACM) face additional hazards on the job. To protect these workers, OSHA has extensive rules for this type of work, including rules for air monitoring, medical surveillance, respiratory protection, safe work practices, and more. These are designed to keep workers safe and free from asbestos-induced illnesses.
