Employee Awareness Training
Employee Information and Training. The final standard requires the employer to provide an information and training program for all employees exposed to asbestos or lead at or above the action level. Information and training are an essential aspect of the overall protection of employees who can do much to protect themselves if they are informed of the nature of the hazards in the workplace. To be effective, an employee education system must apprise the employee of the specific hazards associated with his work environment, protective measures which can be taken, and his rights under the standard. The training program must be provided prior to the time of initial job assignment or prior to the startup date for this requirement, whichever comes last, and must be repeated at least annually for covered employees unless exposure at or above the action level will no longer occur. |
