Independent Training News (ITN) HSE: Introduction to asbestos learning package An interactive lesson for apprentices about asbestos and its dangers This 45 minute interactive lesson with supporting activities and materials is aimed primarily at trades apprentices in the 16 - 19 age group, for delivery by college lecturers and other vocational education providers. It is also relevant to, and capable of being delivered by, industry professionals, eg as part of workplace training. Research shows that although tradespeople know that asbestos is harmful to health, they believe that it is a historical problem, and so do not take action to protect themselves. This package is designed to raise awareness of apprentices about the risks they face when working with asbestos, providing them with basic guidance about what they need to do. Younger people, if routinely exposed to asbestos fibres over time, are at greater risk of developing disease than older workers. This is due to the latency of the affects of asbestos on the body. Providing apprentices with key information at an early stage means they are better equipped to challenge poor work practices and protect themselves.

HSE: Asbestos Training Pledge 2011 HSE look at how HSE has been working with industry on the asbestos training pledge. Thousands of joiners, electricians and plumbers have been finding out all about asbestos. The courses have been delivered for free by the training industry. HSE Charlotte Dunstan commented: HSE had a target of four thousand hours and that was to reflect the approximate number of people that die from asbestos-related diseases on an annual basis which, if you can believe it, is over four thousand. That's more people than die on the roads each year. We had that target and we actually exceeded it so much that we doubled it. We had a separate target for online training and another target for classroom-based training, trying to get four thousand hours for each of those varieties. We beat those targets considerably as well. We actually ended up getting over fifteen thousand hours of free training being pledged. The response was overwhelming from the beginning. We went out and had a chat with industry and the major bodies that represent training providers for classroom-based training are called IATP which is the Independent Asbestos Training Providers and UKATA who are the United Kingdom Asbestos Training Association. Both those bodies wholeheartedly accepted the initiative and wanted to be part of it, also the Independent Training Providers who only found out about the initiative once it had gone live have pledged in huge numbers. Asbestos is not a building material anymore and it has been banned in the UK since before the year 2000. However because of the legacy of its usage it's still in nearly half a million commercial buildings and tradespeople are still disturbing the fabric of those buildings on a daily basis and potentially getting exposed to asbestos fibres. Asbestos awareness training is theoretical. It's laying out what the properties of asbestos are, what the effects are on your health, where you might come across it in a building, what asbestos-containing materials there are out there and what procedures you should follow in an emergency and how you can avoid the risks. Once they've identified that it's something that they might come into contact with they would
need to get a further class of training which is called "non-licensed training" and this is more practical and it would tell them how to work on the specific materials that they know they work with. The generosity of the training providers has really surprised us all. And with this training that has been on offer, little changes in working habits and behavior that will only take two or three hours of the day to complete are going to have a huge impact on lives and the lives of families, to make sure that you're not exposed to asbestos. Charlotte Dunstan, Manager of the Training Pledge Initiative at the Health and Safety Executive.

Independent Training News (ITN) Your Basic Guide To Getting Started on Twitter: What is Twitter? www.twitter.com is a social networking service that lets you post messages known as tweets of up to 140 characters long and attach links to websites, media and photos. Did you know that Twitter actually started off as a way to stay connected with people, mainly friends and family? Naturally, business users soon started using Twitter as an impressive marketing tool because you can reach thousands of people with one tweet! Why Should I Tweet? Clearly, it’s an opportunity to promote your business but there are other benefits: You can build an amazing network of contacts within your industry that you never had access to before. You can share knowledge and expertise and it’s an excellent way to engage with current and future customers. You can strengthen your company’s reputation by tweeting quality content and customer feedback. You can listen in to fellow professionals to learn current trends and market insights. And…it’s great fun! Sounds Interesting…What’s Next? I recommend attending a local social media training class. However, if you want to jump straight in, wellies first, you will need an account, a relevant and recognisable Username, an astoundingly brilliant profile biography (see below) and a photo/logo is a must! People like to see who they are interacting with. Keep the default image and you will get Egg on your face! Create accounts at www.twitter.com Big Up That Biography! Remember that you are trying to generate interest and interaction – a blank profile biography will not persuade people to follow you. A super smart and snappy profile can make all the difference. Find professional assistance if words are not your forte. DO tell people who you are...what you do and show some personality. 100% business is fine but take care with sales pitches as pushy profiles screaming "BUY MY STUFF" generally get ignored. Don't forget to add your website address, FB page link or blog URL. First Tweet Nerves… And…the sheer horror dawns as you realise you have to make your first tweet!! Just keep it simple: Introduce yourself, why you are on Twitter and who you would like to interact with. If you know a seasoned Twitter professional, e.g. @IATP_Asbestos ask them to tweet introducing you to their followers. Do tell people you are now on Twitter – if no-one knows you are here – who will find you? So, add Twitter links to your website, email signature, newsletter, promotional leaflets, Facebook page and LinkedIn accounts.
Follow Me…Follow You! Decisions, decisions! Who to follow? Don't overload your account following a gazillion people straight away – choose your friends carefully for the value they will add to your network if you are keeping it 100% business. If you are going to mix your twitter account with some personal stuff, then by all means follow your favourite sports folk, singers, actors etc. It’s a divided opinion because some people say that your business account should be ALL business – the choice is yours! Personally, I like to see personality and humour from the people I follow. Symbols & Common Abbreviations… @ Goes in front of Username i.e. @Super_Secretary and is how you address tweets to specific people # Hashtag – used by Twitter to search for specific keywords and subjects e.g. #asbestos #IATP #HSE RT: Tweets get “ReTweeted” i.e. pass content from your followers to the people you follow LOL: Laugh Out Loud | IMHO: In My Humble Opinion | TBH: To Be Honest | BTW: By The Way Twitter Applications… Got a Smartphone? Then download a relevant Twitter application. It’s an easy way to tweet whilst on the move if you don’t regularly access your PC/laptop. There are applications available for Tablets too and I thoroughly recommend TweetDeck or Hootsuite if you are a confident PC/laptop user. Some Do’s and Do Nots!! Do say thank you to new followers in a tweet or Direct Message (you need to be following each other to send DMs). Do not send a DM that contains SPAM! Do not follow people and then unfollow if they follow you back – how rude! Beware of Too Much Information – please remember that we are not interested in every detail of your life. Do not send tweet after tweet with “BUY BUY” – do mix up your content and importantly, get involved and interact with people – have fun! Tracy at www.super-secretary.com is an avid Tweeter with 2000 followers – get in touch with me if you would like assistance developing your Twitter presence…

Independent Training News (ITN) CANADA: Production of Asbestos Suspended After a 130 years, the mines are silent MONTREAL — Canada’s once-mighty asbestos sector has ground to a halt for the first time in 130 years, as production of the controversial fibre has stalled in both of the country’s mines. A shutdown this month marked a historic milestone for the Canadian asbestos industry, which at one time dominated world production and led to the construction of entire towns in Canada. Proponents of the industry insist it’s way too early to write the obituary on Canadian asbestos; they’re hoping to start digging again as soon as the spring. But for now, amid all the noisy political debates and a dramatic anti-asbestos news conference Thursday on Parliament Hill, Canadian production has quietly and suddenly stopped. Work halted earlier this month at the Lac d’amiante du Canada operation in Thetford Mines, Que., which followed a production stoppage at Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, about 90 kilometres away. The future of both mines is unclear. Jeffrey Mine needs a bank loan guarantee from the Quebec government before it can start digging a new underground mine. Lac d’amiante du Canada is apparently facing operational obstacles in accessing its mineral. Canadian asbestos is expected to disappear from the international market altogether in the coming weeks, as the stockpiles at both operations dry up, says Jeffrey Mine president Bernard Coulombe. Does the production standstill signal the end of Canada’s embattled asbestos sector? Not if you ask Coulombe. "It’s not closed . . . fibre is still being sold," said Coulombe, who explains that both mines are still selling small amounts from their limited inventories. He predicts production will resume at Jeffrey in the spring — once the loan guarantee is secured. The production shutdown is the latest dip for an industry that has long been a shadow of its former self. Canada gained a reputation as the world’s top producer of a once-valuable global commodity that was hailed as the "magic mineral" for its fireproofing and insulating characteristics. Canadian asbestos represented 85 per cent of world production in the early 1900s and the country’s annual production peaked at 1.69 million metric tonnes in 1973, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The resource was so valuable that the U.S. military drew up plans during the 1930s to enter Quebec and defend the mines if Canada ever fell under German control, said a researcher who’s studied the history of Quebec asbestos. Jessica Van Horssen also recalled how Nazi leader Adolf Hitler bought
Canadian asbestos up until the Second World War for fireproof building material, and how Winston Churchill’s bunker on Downing Street was also made of asbestos cement. "It was also something that made the world safe and we wanted to be safe, especially during wartime. It was a real comfort that things had asbestos in them," said Van Horssen, a post-doctoral student from McGill University. But the industry began its steady decline in the 1970s as science started linking asbestos exposure to serious health problems, such as lung disease and cancer. Canada produced around five per cent of the world supply in 2010 and just 100,000 metric tonnes, the USGS says. But Coulombe insists the international market for chrysotile — the type of asbestos mined in Canada — remains strong, which is great for business and the industry’s future. The problem is, it also means the Jeffrey reserve will be bought up within a few weeks. That prospect, he admits, has stirred up concern among his clients, who he says value Canadian chrysotile as the industry standard. Instead, he says his customers will have to settle on lesser-quality chrysotile from places like Kazakhstan and Russia. Coulombe, who says his mine has maintained a close working relationship with Lac d’amiante du Canada since 2008, had hoped its ally was going to pick up the slack until at least 2013. "When one (mine) didn’t have enough fibre, the other supplied it," he said. "Our clients are a little unhappy with us because they say, ’We don’t have any more comparable-standard fibre right now... we are in the hands of the Russians.’ " LAB Chrysotile, which operates Lac d’amiante du Canada, shuttered its operation indefinitely earlier this month. Last summer, company president Simon Dupere blamed its problem on internal challenges, including labour, production and development issues. The company is also hoping to get permission from the provincial government to dig into a deposit under a highway in its central Quebec region. Dupere did not return calls by The Canadian Press. But Coulombe, and a published report, have said LAB Chrysotile’s challenges are due to a massive rock slide that cut off access to the mine’s economically viable chrysotile. "They tried to remove it, more of it fell," Coulombe said of fallen rocks. "That’s why they had to stop operating because they spent and spent (money) and there’s no mineral to sell." But the future is bright for Jeffrey Mine, he says.

Independent Training News (ITN) Coulombe’s so confident in its potential that 25 workers have been busy preparing the new subterranean section, so it will be ready to open by the summer — as long as it gets support from Quebec. Coulombe says he will only have enough money to open the underground mine if he secures a $58-million bank-loan guarantee from the Quebec government. Once that project gets underway, he predicts Jeffrey can produce asbestos for another 25, or even 50, years. The sector will have to continue fending off a growing group of international critics — made up of health experts and activists. They want politicians to permanently close the Canadian industry, which ships the bulk of its asbestos to poorer countries where they argue safety standards are too weak. Some of those activists held a dramatic news conference Thursday on Parliament Hill. They described the impact that exposure to asbestos has had on Canadians and their families. Eleven-year-old Cavanagh Matmor tearfully recounted how she watched her grandmother gasping for air on her deathbed. Her grandfather had worked in a Toronto factory with asbestos from the Jeffrey Mine, and her grandmother had become ill from exposure to the fibres her husband brought into the house. "I wonder (if ) it doesn’t make them feel bad inside, because they don’t know how it feels, they don’t know how it feels to have a grandmother and a grandfather die of asbestos," Matmor said. "They just don’t listen to others.
"They just decide to continue, and it breaks my heart. It breaks my heart knowing that they’re going to continue doing that and that people in other countries will have to go through the same thing." Matmor and her family are calling on the Charest government to reject the loan to keep the Jeffrey mine afloat — and to shut down the industry for good. But Coulombe, like other industry supporters, insists Canadian asbestos is no longer handled in a careless manner. He said it’s perfectly safe when the mineral’s tiny fibres are bonded in products like cement.

Independent Training News (ITN) U.S. warns workers on cancer-causing mineral erionite Federal health officials are calling for protective measures at job sites where workers may be exposed to erionite, a cancer-causing mineral similar to asbestos that is found in rock and soil in at least a dozen western states. An advisory published Tuesdayby the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommended a series of steps to prevent employee exposure to eronite fibers at sites such as gravel quarries and road projects. The NIOSH alert noted that erionite was responsible for "remarkably high" rates of mesothelioma, a lethal form of cancer that devastated several Turkish villages where erionite was concentrated in rock and soil. Erionite fibers pose an inhalation hazard similar to asbestos, but available research suggests erionite is more dangerous. As reported in October by FairWarning and msnbc.com, authorities have long known that erionite is widespread in the West but haven’t investigated the potential risks, apparently believing there was little chance of human exposure. Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries Erionite in rock formations in Rome, Oregon. As a result, amid an expansion of roads, pipelines, and power lines in remote areas, erionite remains unregulated, and federal agencies until now have failed to alert land-use officials, developers and residents so they might take precautions. About 30 officials and scientists from federal health and environmental agencies last month held a day-long erionite workshop in North Carolina. "At a minimum, we can begin to start to educate the public and policymakers," said Dr. Aubrey Miller, a senior medical advisor at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, who chaired the meeting. "I certainly don’t want to count bodies later." The steps recommended Tuesday by NIOSH, though purely voluntary, are a first attempt to address potential occupational risks. "From the evidence at hand …it’s prudent and it’s reasonable to approach controlling exposures as one would control asbestos,"said NIOSH spokesman Fred Blosser. Erionite, a member of the zeolite family of minerals, is formed from volcanic ash that has been weathered by water. Like asbestos, it is harmless until it is disturbed, and the microscopic, needle-like fibers waft into the air. Until the late 1970s, when the mesothelioma epidemic was first reported in Turkey, asbestos was thought to be the only cause of the rare cancer. But erionite was found to be the culprit. In the hardest-hit villages, where 40 percent to 50 percent of all deaths were caused by mesothelioma, erionite was abundant in soil and rock, and was used to build homes. Animal studies showed erionite to be 100 to 800 times more carcinogenic than asbestos and, according to a scientific paper, "almost certainly the most toxic naturally occurring fibrous mineral known." The NIOSH alert acknowledged the paucity of data on erionite risks in the U.S. According to co-authors David Weissman, director of the
agency’s division of respiratory disease studies, and Max Kiefer, director the NIOSH’s western states office, "little is known about exposures currently experienced by U.S. workers." But it said there is some evidence of health effects among road construction workers exposed to erionitecontaining gravel or soil. It cited studies in North Dakota. In 2005, it was revealed that erioniteladen gravel mined in the western part of the state had been used to cover hundreds of miles of unpaved roads. Mesothelioma develops decades after initial exposure, and no proof has emerged of high rates of the disease in North Dakota. However, air sampling along the gravel roadways and in vehicles, including inside school buses, revealed erionite level similar to those in some stricken Turkish villages. And a preliminary health study found that two road maintenance workers had mild lung scarring consistent with breathing mineral fibers. In the absence of clear risk data and regulations, however, use of erionite-containing gravel has continued in the state. The North Dakota Department of Transportation has banned its use in state road projects, but some local governments and private companies rely on it still. Complicating the picture, the state is in the midst of one of the greatest oil booms in U.S. history, with a huge spike in truck traffic tearing up unpaved roads and increasing the need for maintenance. To use only erionite-free gravel to patch the roads would mean hauling from 40 miles away, which is “cost prohibitive,” Reinhard Hauck, the auditor and treasurer of Dunn County, N.D., told FairWarning. Local officials are "behind the 8 ball constantly trying to figure out how to maintain the infrastructure we have." Scott Radig, director of waste management for the state Department of Health, said the agency has provided advice to energy companies and construction contractors on controlling dust and avoiding gravel with erionite content. But Radig said such steps are purely voluntary, and he doesn’t know how many companies comply. The NIOSH advisory listed more than a dozen measures to control potential hazards, including employee training and determining if erionite-containing material is present before beginning work. Other steps included wetting soil and rock to reduce dust; using respirators and other protective equipment; showering and changing clothes before leaving work; and ensuring work clothes and boots are left at work to prevent hazardous fibers from being brought home.
