An Advanced Interactive asbestos and designated-materials awareness course delivering 11 interactions and 7 validated competencies in recognizing where these hazards hide in real buildings and materials and when to stop work. Learners avoid disturbing a hazard they didn’t know was there. It is the foundation of the Asbestos Safety Pathway.
Asbestos and designated-materials awareness training aligned with the Manitoba WSH Act and WSH Regulation MR 217/2006 Part 37 (Asbestos). It teaches workers to recognize asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in older buildings, understand the health hazard (asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma — with no assumed safe level and a decades-long latency), apply the do-not-disturb-and-report rule, distinguish friable from non-friable material, understand how the risk of asbestos…
Equip every worker who may encounter asbestos to recognize suspect materials, never disturb them, and report correctly — and to understand the controls, work classifications, and designated-materials program that protect them.
Workers in trades, maintenance, and renovation who may disturb asbestos or other designated materials during their work.
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for one year. Review awareness training at least annually and whenever new ACM is identified or work scope changes.
This certificate records completion of awareness-level training in asbestos (MR 217/2006 Part 37) and other designated materials (Part 36) — recognizing asbestos-containing material, the do-not-disturb-and-report rule, friable and non-friable material, the Type 1, 2 and 3 work categories, and the employer asbestos control plan. It does not qualify the holder to disturb, sample, remove or abate asbestos-containing material, or to supervise that work. Manitoba reserves asbestos work to a person competent in it under the employer control plan, and the enacted WCB asbestos certificate and employer registration number become compulsory on 1 June 2027; this certificate is neither of those and does not count toward them. Designated materials such as silica and lead each carry their own Part 36 requirements.
About 2 hours 30 minutes online, over 5 modules, at your own pace. It ends with a final test that needs 80% to pass.
One year from the day you pass. Review awareness training at least annually and whenever new ACM is identified or work scope changes.
