Asbestos virtual training dates for summer 2022
Submitted by Human Capital Services - Learning and Development
The Department of Environmental Health and Safety is offering Asbestos Awareness for KSU Building Occupants (WTD166) to anyone interested in learning more about asbestos, health concerns associated with it and where it can be found on campus.
Asbestos is most commonly found in buildings constructed before 1981. Asbestos can be discovered in ceilings, between floors, on plumbing, inside some doors, air ducts, floor tiles, glues and mastics, in parts of HVAC systems, as well as other architectural features. As long as the asbestos is not damaged, there is no hazard to building occupants. If the asbestos is damaged, the issue is resolved as quickly as possible to avoid endangering building occupants.
All sessions will be offered virtually via Zoom from 11 a.m. to noon on Thursday, May 5, Thursday, June 2, Thursday, July 7, and Thursday, Aug. 4.
Participants may register through HRIS Self-Service or send an email to Megan Eakin at learning-develop-hr@k-state.edu. When sending an email, please include your name, employee ID, course title, course number WTD166 and date desired.
Arrangements can also be made with the instructor, Shane Garrett, to deliver the presentation to an individual department. Contact 785-532-5856 or email safety@k-state.edu with questions.
