AC Pipe - Initial Training

The asbestos cement pipe worker initial training (4 Hour course) provides the training required by Cal-OSHA for member agencies who repair breaks in AC pipe. The training includes a session of hands on that gives the students experience in constructing a mini chamber, setting up a regulated area, and performing a pipe cutting simulation. 

If you are a person with a disability and need an accommodation to participate, please contact the California JPIA training division by email training@cjpia.org within two business days of the training date, noting that the Authority is closed on Fridays.
