Why Should You Take This PCB Awareness Course?

PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs were domestically manufactured from 1929 until their manufacture was banned in 1979. They have a range of toxicity and vary in consistency from thin, light-colored liquids to yellow or black waxy solids. Due to their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point, and electrical insulating properties, PCBs were used in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications including electrical, heat transfer, and hydraulic equipment; as plasticizers in paints, plastics, and rubber products; in pigments, dyes, and carbonless copy paper; and many other industrial applications.

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. Those responsible for renovation, repair, or abatement activities of potential PCB-containing or PCB-contaminated materials should review and understand the regulatory requirements and are encouraged to consult EPA or environmental professionals experienced with PCB cleanup activities.

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. 

 

Topics To Be Covered Include:  

  • Introduction to PCB Awareness
  • Laws and Regulations
  • Contractors Handling of PCBs
  • PCB in Caulk and Older Buildings 
  • Preventing Exposures to PCB
  • Risk and Action to Reduce Exposures
  • PCB Tests Performed in Buildings
  • Removal and Cleanup of PCB Waste

 

Compliance Standard:  PCBs are regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act. TSCA bans the manufacture, processing, use and distribution in commerce of PCBs. Current PCB regulations can be found under: 40 CFR 761.
