6 Training

 Training of maintenance personnel is one of the keys to a successful maintenance and monitoring programme. Inadequate training of personnel may result in asbestos operations and maintenance tasks not being performed properly, possibly leading to higher than necessary levels of asbestos fibres in the air and an increased risk being faced by crew members and passengers. The level of training may vary from:

  • .1 awareness training for personnel involved in activities where asbestos-containing materials may be accidentally disturbed;

  • .2 special operations and maintenance training for personnel involved in general maintenance and incidental repair tasks involving asbestos-containing material; and

  • .3 abatement worker training for workers who may conduct asbestos abatement. This level of work should not normally be expected of ship's crew members.
