Asbestos Awareness Introduction
Do you work with or around materials that may contain asbestos? Attend this training to gain an awareness and be able to recognize asbestos-containing materials, and understand the hazards of asbestos. This training is intended to be an introductory for employees who may have contact with, but do not disturb asbestos- or presumed asbestos-containing materials. If you work in building renovation, operations and maintenance, utilities, or as a building manager or custodian and you may contact asbestos-containing materials, this is a great introduction for you. This does not satisfy the annual training requirement; that course can be found in SATERN.
Audience: Any personnel working in or around construction, building renovations, operations &maintenance, custodial workers, and building FOMs.

A quarter of Americans say they’ve been in a situation in which someone needed CPR. If administered properly and immediately to sudden cardiac arrest victims, CPR can save lives. Participants will learn how to perform CPR and handle respiratory and cardiac emergencies for adults until professional medical help arrives. This course is for awareness only and not for certification.

Ground Safety Plan/Ground Safety Data Package Training
Have you ever gone to sleep at night and wondered, “hmmm, can I power switch on the pad when hazardous systems are A-State with personnel in the danger area?” Have you ever thought while walking your dog, “what is the maximum pressure I can pressurize an attitude control system to without having to perform remotely?” While driving home after a long day, have you ever considered the philosophical question of, “when is final arming?” The answers to these questions and more will be provided at this year’s Safety Awareness Campaign during the Ground Safety Plan/Ground Safety Data Package Training. During this training, we will explore the purpose of these highly important operational safety documents and how they are applied to ensure the safety of our personnel while enabling mission success in compliance with the GSFC/WFF Range Safety Manual.
