Concurrent Breakout: Beyond Compliance: Bridging the Asbestos Training Gap

In the restoration industry, asbestos training is too often treated as a yearly checkbox completed to satisfy regulators rather than to truly protect teams and projects. But as regulatory scrutiny increases and the long-term health consequences of exposure continue to surface, “awareness” alone is no longer enough.

This session confronts the “Missing Middle”, the critical gap between minimum compliance and real-world competency. Our expert panel, including environmental specialists, medical professionals, and restoration leaders, will examine the operational and health-related nuances frequently overlooked in standard 2-hour awareness courses.

Discover how these training gaps increase liability, jeopardize worker health, and disrupt project timelines, and why the restoration industry must take ownership of raising the standard.

If your current approach focuses on earning the certificate, this conversation will challenge you to train for the realities of the job site and the long-term integrity of your business.
