Persons requiring this type of training would include those whose work will knowingly disturb low risk asbestos containing materials, such as maintenance workers and their supervisors;and those who carry out asbestos sampling and analysis.
In addition to the Asbestos Awareness, those employees whose work will knowingly disturb ACMs, and which is defined as non-licensable work or NNLW, should receive additional task-specific information, instruction and training.
The procedures for providing information, instruction and training for non-licensable work with asbestos should be clearly defined and referred to in a written health and safety policy document. This should be reviewed regularly, particularly when work methods change. Records should be kept of each individual’s training.
For those employees doing non-licensable work with asbestos, employers should make the following information available for the current work being done:
- A copy of the risk assessment for that work;
- A copy of the plan of work;
- Where applicable, details of any air monitoring and results.
In addition, the following information should be made available to workers, on request:
- Maintenance records for control measures;
- Personal information from health records (ie relating to NNLW and only to the individual employee concerned);
- The results of any face-fit test (FFT) for RPE provided for work with asbestos;
- A copy of the individual’s training record.
