Asbestos Cement Pipe Worker Initial – OAK

Target Audience:

Individuals engaged in the installation, repair, or removal of Asbestos Cement Pipe, especially those focusing on specific product categories as opposed to broad abatement work.

Course Description:

NATEC’s Asbestos Cement Pipe Worker Initial 4 Hour course is meticulously curated to address the unique requirements of workers handling Asbestos Cement Pipe. As per the guidelines of 8 CCR 1529(k)(9)(D)3, this training emphasizes “Training for other Class II work,” ensuring participants are well-versed in the specificities of working with this type of product.

It’s important to note that this training does not encompass the broader abatement work detailed in AHERA (40 CFR 763) and other segments of the Cal/OSHA (8 CCR 341.17) regulations. Instead, it hones in on the niche requirements of companies solely engaged in repairing breaks in A/C Pipe.

A significant component of this course is hands-on training, designed to provide real-world experience. Participants will actively engage in sessions that simulate various on-field activities, ensuring they are prepared for practical scenarios.
