Safety and Environmental Training
Training to Keep you Safe, On the Job, and Certified to Work
The MSU Center for Continuing Education offers a variety of Asbestos, Lead-Based Paint, Mold, OSHA, and CPR trainings that are open to the public through its Safety & Environmental Training program. The program was established in 1990, pursuant Miss. Code Ann. 37-138-1 with the designation of Mississippi State University by the Institutions of Higher Learning as the state’s sole asbestos training provider.
If you are in need of an OSHA 30Hr Industry Course or OSHA 10hr Industry Course, please contact Matt Thomas at jmt12@msstate.edu to schedule your class.
Asbestos Awareness and Asbestos Operations & Maintenance courses are offered on demand. These courses are designed to meet the requirements of AHERA (40 CFR 763.92), which requires all public and private K-12 school custodial and maintenance staff that work in a building that contains asbestos to receive at least 2 hours of awareness training. If you are interested in scheduling a class, please contact Matt Thomas at jmt12@msstate.edu.
