ASTM International D22 Committee on Air Quality: Review of Recently Produced eLearning Modules and Current Plans for Future Modules

Source

The demand for eLearning opportunities throughout various professions continues. This was especially evident throughout the recent Covid19 pandemic as travel, lodging, and training budget considerations were limited in many economies. ASTM International's eLearning group offers diverse and abundant training courses that cover ASTM standards worldwide. ASTM D22 has committed to providing effective eLearning modules for the environmental and occupational health and safety community. State-of-the-industry educational platforms through ASTM's Training and eLearning Department now feature ASTM's D22.07 E2356-18, Standard Practice for Comprehensive Building Asbestos Surveys. The process of selecting items for presentation, the formulation of content, and production development is discussed for the recently completed offering. Feedback from investigators who will employ these tools as well as the progression of concepts communicated by the D22.07 professionals who authored this informative course are detailed. In addition to the building survey module, a secondary suite of modules is now tracking through ASTM that include asbestos in settled dust analytical and engineering tools (ASTM D5755, Standard Test Method for Microvacuum Sampling and Indirect Analysis of Dust by Transmission Electron Microscopy for Asbestos Structure Number Surface Loading; ASTM D6480, Standard Test Method for Wipe Sampling of Surfaces, Indirect Preparation, and Analysis for Asbestos Structure Number Surface Loading by Transmission Electron Microscopy; and ASTM D7390, Standard Guide for Evaluating Asbestos in Dust on Surfaces by Comparison between Two Environments) and an eye toward future modules centered around asbestos in soil (ASTM D7521, Standard Test Method for Determination of Asbestos in Soil), vermiculite minerals, and natural occurrences of asbestos methods. ASTM has reported international interest through its Global Outreach program for these educational tools.
