EPA Model Training Manual from the 1990s: I Didn’t Know That.

As my weekly blogs focus on history, don’t take all of the documents which I cite or use as being current. Rather, please see them as the historical learning experience that they are meant to be. Today, we take a look at the EPA suggested training during the 1990s as embodied in its EPA Model Asbestos Worker & Contractor/Supervisor Training Manual. Interestingly, I am having trouble sorting out whether it was published in 1994 or 1997. Maybe one of my readers can help me out.

I find historical book, like this one, fascinating. Just the discussion about friable versus nonfriable ACMs and the need to test instead of guess reminds me about how difficult the inspector job can be.

Or, how about the need to take a sample of settled dust rather than just an air sample.

Let me know what you think either by leaving a comment or emailing me at TheAsbestosBlog@gmail.com. Thanks. Marty
