Before the negative health effects of asbestos were fully understood, this hazardous substance was used in thousands of products and building materials. And asbestos-containing materials can be found in many buildings even today.

Employees such as custodial, engineering and maintenance staff need to understand the health risks associated with asbestos, be able to recognize asbestos hazards in their workplace and know what to do to protect themselves and others from exposure to asbestos.

"Asbestos Awareness" training from MARCOM provides employees with this important information, and also helps employers comply with the training requirements of the OSHA Asbestos Standard.

All of the products... our original DVDs and full-length online courses as well as the new "Micro-Learning" and "Adaptive Learning" courses... discuss topics that are integral to employees' understanding of these issues.

Topics covered in these products include:

  • Asbestos: "miracle" and menace.
  • The health effects of asbestos.
  • Thermal system insulation.
  • Surfacing materials, floor and ceiling tiles.
  • Protective equipment and safe work practices.
  • Decontamination and medical surveillance.
  • and more.

All "Asbestos Awareness" products are available in English and Spanish.

The "Asbestos Awareness" MicroLearning curriculum includes the following 3-5 minute courses:

  • "Asbestos: Miracle and Menace"
  • "The Health Effects of Asbestos"
  • "Types of Asbestos Hazards"
  • "Thermal System Insulation"
  • "Surfacing Materials, Flooring and Ceiling Tiles"

Adaptive Learning

Model Number: ind_265_adl_en
Runtime: 10-45 minutes
Adaptive Learning

“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.

These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.

MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.

Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
