Introduction:
Under 29CFR1926.1101, OSHA has broken down asbestos work into separate classifications requiring specific training of all employees as follows:
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) deadline for asbestos training was October 1, 1995. Training must be provided on all levels to all employees who perform Class I through IV asbestos operations and prior to or at the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter.
CLASS I ASBESTOS WORK means activities involving the removal of TSI and surfacing ACM and PACM. This class of asbestos includes, but is not limited to the removal of pipe, boiler and mechanical systems insulation, as well as sprayed-on fireproofing. The training required is a minimum of the 32-Hour Asbestos Handler course, but to qualify as a Competent Person under this regulation, the 40-Hour Supervisor/Contractor course is required.
COURSE II ASBESTOS WORK means activities involving the removal of ACM, which is not thermal system insulation or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of asbestos-containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, roofing and siding shingles and construction mastics. The training required is a minimum of the 32-Hour Asbestos Handler course.
COURSE III ASBESTOS WORK means repair and maintenance operations where ACM, including thermal system insulation and surfacing materials, is likely to be disturbed. This is required for maintenance personnel who may have to remove small quantities of asbestos at their facilities. The training required for this class is a minimum of the 16-Hour Operations and Maintenance course.
COURSE IV ASBESTOS WORK means maintenance and custodial activities during which employees contact ACM and PACM and activities to clean up waste and debris containing ACM and PACM. The training required for this class is a minimum of a 2-Hour Awareness course.
