Asbestos Awareness: Class IV and Housekeeping (Cal/OSHA) Online Training

This online course covers the training the Cal/OSHA asbestos in construction rule requires for Class IV and housekeeping work (8 CCR 1529(k)(9), with 40 CFR 763.92(a)(1)) and is written at the Authorized User level.

What you learn

How it works

• You take the course online, at your own pace, on a phone or a computer.
• Class IV training must be at least 2 hours (40 CFR 763.92(a)(1)). Four timed study units hold the course to at least 2 hours.
• This course does not train you for Class I, II or III asbestos work, and it is not the certified training California requires for registered asbestos work.
• Each topic lesson ends with practice questions that do not count toward your score.
• The final exam has 25 questions drawn at random. You need 80 percent to pass, and you get 3 attempts.
• When you pass, you get a certificate of completion from M Squared Safety Solutions, Inc. The certificate expires 1 year after it is issued.
• This course is also available in Spanish: Concientización sobre el asbesto, clase IV y limpieza (Cal/OSHA): capacitación en línea.
