Upcoming Indoor Air Quality Trainings - "Asbestos, Contaminants, and Other Indoor Environmental Issues - Getting Results"

The State of New York/ Public Employees Federation (PEF) Statewide Health & Safety Committee is offering four [4] one-day training programs entitled:

Asbestos, Contaminants and Other Indoor Environmental Issues – Getting Results

The programs will be held on

April 3, 2012 in Binghamton, NY; April 20, 2012 in Albany NY; May 9, 2012 in New York City, and May 22, 2012 in Rochester, NY
9:00am - 4:00pm
Registration at 8:30am

 

Union leaders and agency managers are routinely contacted by state employees regarding concerns caused by indoor environmental contaminants, including asbestos, common chemicals, paint or renovation materials and others, and their impact on indoor air quality (IAQ). The statewide Health & Safety Committee recognizes the importance of providing training to management officials, union representatives, and building personnel. Understanding strategies for preventing and responding to IAQ problems caused by indoor environmental contaminants will help preserve workplace safety and health, and avoid disruptions to operations.

The program is open to all Labor and Management Chairs of the Agency and Local Level Health and Safety Committees (or their designees) as well as building managers, supervisors and other personnel who routinely deal with facility management issues. Each Agency and Local health and safety committee is invited to send up to three (3) additional representatives to the program. Selection of these additional participants shall be done by joint consultation between the labor and management chairs of the agency health and safety committees.
