KEDA will be co-sponsoring a free Asbestos & Lead Awareness MIOSHA training on July 14, 2026 from 8 am to noon. This session will be held in person at the Skyline Commons building at 200 Michigan Street Hancock, MI 49930.

What You’ll Learn:
Construction trades routinely renovate and demolish buildings that were built prior to 1981. These activities often pose a health risk by exposing employees to asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACM). General industry employees are also subject to asbestos exposure, rules and regulations. Asbestos awareness training is for general industry and construction employees; whose work activities may contact but do not disturb ACM or PACM.

Lead is also found in both general industry and in construction. Many construction activities can disturb lead; such as building demolition, alteration, renovation, repair, and/or painting. This combined awareness training course consists of information regarding asbestos and lead in their various forms and uses. Training also includes information on the health effects associated with asbestos and/or lead exposure.
