- Asbestos Awareness: A program that educates employees on the risks associated with asbestos exposure and provides guidance on safe handling practices.
- Asbestos Certification: A certification program that ensures employees are properly trained to handle asbestos-containing materials in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Why are Hazardous Materials Training necessary?
A Hazardous Materials Training is necessary for several reasons:
- Compliance: Failing to provide adequate training can result in non-compliance with regulatory requirements, which can vary by region and country. For example:
In Canada, the province of Ontario has specific regulations regarding hazardous materials handling, including asbestos and lead.
In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates hazardous materials handling at the federal level, with additional requirements at the state and local levels.
- Liability: In the event of an accident or exposure, organizations that have not properly trained their employees may be held liable for any resulting damages.
- Employee safety: Hazardous Materials Training is essential to ensure that employees are aware of the risks associated with handling hazardous materials and can take steps to protect themselves and others.
