Are supervisors trained in asbestos removal?

Supervisor training. Your facility must have a supervisor on site overseeing all work in which regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) is stripped, removed or otherwise handled. This is a requirement under the asbestos NESHAP regulations, as well as the OSHA shipyard industry standards.

According to the asbestos NESHAP requirements, the supervisor must be trained in the provisions of the regulation and the means of complying with them. Training must include, at a minimum: applicability of regulations; notification requirements; material identification procedures; emission control procedures for removals; waste disposal practices; reporting and record keeping; and asbestos hazards and worker protection.

Evidence of training must be posted and made available for inspection at the ship scrapping site. Refresher training in the asbestos NESHAP requirements is required for supervisors every two years.

Training records. Your facility must maintain records for each worker and supervisor and document their completed training. These records must be maintained for one year past the last day of employment.

An inspector may check the training records for the workers and supervisors listed on the daily work logs.
