PCB Awareness Courses

PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons, and have been used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. PCBs were domestically manufactured from 1929 until their manufacture was banned in 1979. Contractors and building owners should be aware of the impact of their work in buildings occupied by high-risk populations, such as schools and day care centers. This PCB Awareness course is designed to assist building owners and abatement contractors who may be handling PCB-containing or PCB-contaminated building materials during planned renovation or repair activities or planned PCB abatement efforts in older buildings.
