In this Program Demonstrating Excellence ("PDE"), an evaluation was conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of performance-based and traditional methods in the training of asbestos workers. In addition, the effects of peer influence (through public and in-house classes) and the covariates of age and asbestos experience were investigated. the field of asbestos removal is unique when compared to most other jobs involving labor-classified workers. In asbestos removal, the consequences of improper job performance (terminal health effects) are separated from the action by a long latency period. In this situation, learning on the job is not an effective way of gaining knowledge, and the asbestos worker must be properly trained prior to beginning job duties. In the performance-based training system developed for this PDE, the types of performances required for successful job completion--recall, discrimination, manipulation, and problem-solving--were considered. the course materials were presented in a manner designed to elicit the specific performance type from the participants during training. In effect, the participants "practiced" prior to conducting their actual jobs. In contrast, the traditional training system consisted of existing asbestos training courses in which information was presented in common lecture format without regard to types of job performances. to evaluate the effect of peer influence, classes were taught in public and in-house settings. Public settings consisted of training classes open to members of the public at large; in-house settings consisted of training classes in which only co-workers were present. the results of this PDE showed that the performance-based, in-house class performed at a level far superior to all other groups. the performance-based, public class performed at a higher level than either of the traditional classes. the traditional, in-house class generally performed better than the traditional, public class. Age and/or experience were significant covariates in objectives where previous work experience enhanced performance. the need to ensure that asbestos workers receive adequate training, such as that which can be achieved through a performance-based, in-house class, is underscored by the results of the PDE. In addition, these techniques can be applied to other areas in which the effects of improper performance involve health effects with a long latency period.

This book replaces most earlier HSE guidance on liscensed asbestos removal work. It is aimed at businesses holding a alicence to work with asbestos, either repairing or removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), supervising such work, holding an ancillary license or providing training on asbestos. Employers who carry out work with asbestos insulation, aasbestos insulating board using their own employees on their premises, who are exempted from the requirement to hold a licence, also need this guidance. The guidance is split into eight chapters, covering different aspects of licensed work with ACM's. It provides an overview of asbestos and its health effects, the law and how to work safely with asbestos.

Provides guidance on controlling asbestos-containing materials (ACM) found in buildings. Provides a current summary of data on exposure to airborne asbestos; gives survey procedures for determining if ACM is present in buildings; explains how to establish a special operations and maintenance program in a building found to contain asbestos; reviews technical issues confronted when assessing the potential for exposure to airborne asbestos, in particular indoor settings; suggests a structured process for selecting a particular course of action, and much more. Commonly referred to as the Blue Book.

Disturbing asbestos materials during construction is a serious hazard that all contractors may encounter. Because of the insidious nature of the material as a health hazard, EPA regulations require that even when a structure is to be completely demolished, asbestos (and all other hazardous materials) must be removed by a qualified contractor prior to general demolition. A construction contractor contemplating abatement work needs to ascertain regulatory applicability under one of the following: OSHA-approved state program, Federal OSHA regulations (applicable to the private sector and certain federal employees) or OSHA-approved. Construction Worksite Compliance Guide to Asbestos provides the contractors, building owners and inspectors with the current best management practices for asbestos removal and disposal methods. Packed with checklist, tables and "quick lookup" materials, this manual provides a step by step approach for identifying asbestos, complying with OSHA and EPA regulations as well as the safe disposal of asbestos.
