This is a Migna Safety Solutions course with a Migna certificate of completion. It is not OSHA Outreach Training and does not include a Department of Labor card.

Asbestos is still in millions of older buildings, and the workers most at risk are those who disturb it without knowing it's there — during renovation, demolition, and maintenance. This awareness course teaches what asbestos is, where it hides, how it causes disease, how the standard classifies asbestos work, and exactly what to do (and never do) when you suspect it. Awareness level only: this course does NOT authorize you to handle, disturb, or abate asbestos — accredited abatement training under the AHERA model is required for that work. Issues a Migna certificate of completion.

Seat time is enforced on our servers. The clock is calculated from signed progress events rather than in your browser, so it cannot be sped up — a certificate that states 15 minutes of training means it. The 30 minutes shown above is that gate plus the quizzes and final exam, which are not on the clock.

This certificate does not expire on a clock

The standard behind this course sets no fixed retraining interval, so we do not print one. Retraining is triggered by events instead — a new hazard, a changed process, or an observed deficiency. Your employer or insurer may set their own interval, which is a real obligation but not a federal one.
