Welcome to the California/OSHA Asbestos Awareness Safety Training Course. Asbestos can cause serious damage to a person's health, even if they feel fine after initial exposure. The scariest thing about asbestos exposure is that the fibers can remain virtually undetected in the body until a person is diagnosed with asbestosis, lung cancer, or even mesothelioma. In this course, we are going to focus on the hazards of asbestos exposure and what you can do to lessen your risk of exposure.
