Asbestos fibers pose a threat to humans – when the fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious damage to the lungs. The Asbestos Awareness program has been produced to be shown to all personnel who may potentially come across asbestos in the workplace.

This program increases awareness of heat hazards in the workplace by identifying specific heat related hazards and examining a range of engineering and administrative controls and individual behaviors that reduce the risk of heat related illnesses and injuries.

The objective of this program is to highlight the major hazard areas associated with the use of hazardous substances and by so doing, increase awareness of the standards for worker responsibility in observing and being active in daily safety procedures.

The safe handling and storage of all chemicals requires a commitment by everyone to follow safe work procedures. The realization of the risks and an ongoing program to minimize the hazards will reduce accidents and make your workplace a safer workplace.
