Every year, 145,000 Canadian workers are exposed to asbestos in their workplace and, tragically, over 2,000 are still being diagnosed with often fatal diseases, like mesothelioma and lung cancer. These startling figures have earned asbestos a reputation as the number one workplace killer, yet after banning the mining and export of asbestos in 2011, Canada continues to allow the importation of products containing asbestos.

Included in the training are the legal requirements and obligations as listed under Ontario Regulation 278/05: Designated Substance—Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations. Students will participate in a practical exercise to erect an enclosure and work with ventilation procedures.

Operations That Require Type 1 & 2 Training:

Type 1 operations present the lowest exposure risk, generally including the installation or removal of ACM products that are non-friable, that is, material that is not easily crumbled between the thumb and the fingers, or is not already crumbled. The work must be done without damaging the material, or where the material will be damaged, the spread of fibres must be controlled by wetting the material and using non-powered handheld tools. Type 1 operations include: 
  • installation or removal of ACM ceiling tiles (less than 7.5 m2) without damage [ * ];
  • installation or removal of non-friable ACM, other than ceiling tiles, without damage;
  • breaking, cutting, drilling, abrading, grinding, sanding or vibrating non-friable ACM that is wetted and where the work is done using non-powered hand-held tools; and,
  • removal of less than one square metre of drywall where ACM joint-filling compounds were used.
[ * ] damage includes breakage, cutting, abrading, grounding, sanding, and vibration.
The following types of operations are classified as Type 2 operations:
  • the removal of all or part of a false ceiling to access a work area, if ACM is likely to be lying on the surface of the false ceiling; 
  • enclosure of friable ACM;
  • application of tape, a sealant or other covering to pipe or boiler insulation that is ACM;
  • installing or removing ACM ceiling tiles that cover an area of 7.5 m2 or more if the work is done without damaging the tiles;
  • breaking, cutting, drilling, abrading, grinding, sanding, or vibrating non-friable ACM using non-powered hand-held tools if the material is not wetted;
  • cleaning or removing filters used in air handling equipment in a building that has sprayed ACM fireproofing;
  • removal or disturbance of one square metre or less of friable ACM during the repair, alteration, maintenance or demolition of all or part of machinery or equipment or a building, aircraft, locomotive, railway car; and
  • glove bag removals of ACM insulation.
​
Work that may expose a worker to asbestos and that is not classified as a Type 1 or Type 3 operation, is also to be classified as a Type 2 operation.
