Or this course can be conducted fully online if the following are met:
1. Access to a Phase Contrast Microscope with the proper setup for asbestos fiber analysis as specified in the Method NIOSH 7400 or similar, and
2. Someone that is fully trained and a qualified person must be onsite with you. They will be required to follow up with additional oversight after the slides are analyzed by the student and monitored online by Ecologics personnel.
Why Should You Take This NIOSH 582 - Sampling and Evaluating Airborne Asbestos Fibers course?
Federal and state regulations require specific training for personnel involved in asbestos management. This NIOSH 582 Equivalent course covers the OSHA and AHERA training and licensing requirements for Asbestos Air Monitors. Students will learn NIOSH-approved methods of collecting and evaluating airborne asbestos samples in occupational settings.
Please Note: This course includes statistics and sampling-related mathematics, calibration of air sampling equipment, and set-up and use of the phase contrast microscope. It is helpful if students have a good background in basic algebra and the ability to use a calculator with square and square-root functions. Hands-on exercises complement the practical instruction on asbestos air sample analysis. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a certificate that may be used for licensing purposes.
Who Should Attend This Course?
Microscopists, air sampling technicians, and industrial hygienists whose jobs include sampling and analyzing for asbestos fibers, fiberglass and man-made mineral fibers will benefit most from this course.

Decent enough. The instruction was clear and the visuals in the latter half helped, but the overall format needs to be improved Lindsay R.

I learned some interesting things, and this was a solid introductory course, but I was greatly disappointed that there was no sequence demonstrating what NOT to count in realistic/real-world samples. Jenny B.

Class was informative, instructor very knowledgable. I'm a horrible test taker, so it was extremely difficult for me. I also wish we would have had access to the instructor whiteboard notes. I had trouble remembering the test value equation/method and so I struggled with that section of the test. Evelyn J.

Overall the class was good. Instructor was very knowledgeable and straight forward. The class was a little unorganized and most of it felt like a guessing game as to when we received the class link, slides, and exam time. I suggest sending out a welcome email with "good-to-know" information for those who are completing the class online. Bradley H.

Very technical instruction. Allowed me to master, with hands on performance and a full understanding Niosh 7400 and provided a one on one demonstration of the proper processes, techniques and tricks to gaining this knowledge and multiple skills.
I highly recommend the course and the professor! Alexander S.

Excellent class with a great instructor. I have been doing fibre counting for a long time but only trained in the NIOSH 7400 methodology. Taking this course was a good refresher and gives me much more information related to the background of the methods, calculations, statistics, and microscope calibration. Considering this was a 5 day online class I feel that the instructor did a great job delivering the material. Lena L.

Armando and the staff at Ecologics were great to work with during my Niosh 582 Eq. course. Armando has a vast knowledge of occupational health and hazards, and shares this knowledge and his experiences with the class to provide an enriching experience. When the time comes for a refresher course, I will return to Ecologics! Lynn S.

Great Course and Great Instructor. One of the best instructor's I have had in over 20 years in the business and the staff were great to. If you need to get the NIOSH 582 certificate, this is the class to take. Daniel C.

Very informative and fun instructor. Armando covered everything from basic background information to more complex physiology and statistics with great enthusiasm and an obvious wealth of knowledge. Made the week fly by, and I would definitely attend future courses at ecologics training. Nicolette C.

The class was interesting and informative, however I felt as though we went off topic quite a bit. We also only used microscopes for very little of the total time spent there. David L. R.
