Roofing company employees are required to do Asbestos Supervisor Refresher courses every year to maintain their certification and ensure that they are up-to-date with the latest regulations and safety practices regarding asbestos. At Quality Roofing, safety is our #1 priority. Nine team members recently completed an Asbestos Supervisor Refresher course.

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was commonly used in building materials, including roofing products, until the 1970s. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, they can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

To protect workers and the general public from the hazards of asbestos, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established regulations that govern how asbestos should be handled and removed. OSHA requires that individuals who work with asbestos receive appropriate training to ensure that they can work safely and minimize the risk of exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos Supervisor Refresher courses provide individuals who work with asbestos, including roofing company employees, with updated information on regulations, safety practices, and procedures for handling and removing asbestos. By taking these courses annually, roofing company employees can ensure that they are aware of any changes to regulations or best practices and that they are using the latest techniques and equipment to handle asbestos safely.

In addition to complying with regulations, taking Asbestos Supervisor Refresher courses can also help roofing company employees to protect their health and the health of their coworkers and the general public. By staying up-to-date on best practices and procedures for handling asbestos, employees can minimize the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers and reduce the likelihood of developing asbestos-related diseases.

Quality Roofing employees need to take Asbestos Supervisor Refresher courses every year to maintain their certification and stay up-to-date on the latest regulations, safety practices, and procedures for handling and removing asbestos. By doing so, they can protect themselves, their coworkers, and the general public from the hazards of asbestos.
