What is the purpose of an asbestos handler's primary training?

The primary training for an asbestos handler is focused on safely managing and containing asbestos materials. This involves understanding the properties of asbestos, the health risks associated with exposure, and the regulations governing its handling and disposal. Trained handlers are equipped with the skills necessary to protect themselves, their coworkers, and the public from potential asbestos exposure during removal or remediation projects. This training also includes proper use of personal protective equipment, techniques for minimizing asbestos fiber release, and strategies for effective cleanup and disposal. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure a safe working environment and compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
