We all know that asbestos does not burn. That’s why so many building materials, from caulk around fire doors to ceiling tiles, had asbestos-containing materials (ACM) incorporated into them years ago. That doesn’t mean that buildings that contain ACM don’t catch fire. And when they catch fire, firefighters are sent in, potentially exposing them to airborne asbestos fibers. Firefighters, because of their exposures to air contaminated with asbestos fibers, are part of the asbestos remediation industry.
The Wisconsin Asbestos Conference is an excellent venue for the asbestos remediation industry to learn about applicable state, federal and Milwaukee standards, and to meet the players in the industry. There also is an expo of asbestos vendors who provide a variety of goods and services to the industry. A great conference at a terrific price, the Wisconsin Asbestos Conference will be held on December 6, 2019 (with a networking mixer the night before) at the Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Part of this conference is the EPA-approved, two-hour Asbestos Awareness course, which gives you a certificate of attendance (at no additional cost). This course is all about the prevalence of ACM in structures, and gives remediation professionals an appreciation of what they are up against, as they try to protect people from the hazards of asbestos. The terrific price is $80 per person – register online.

Volk is also home to the REACT Center and we enjoy a great working relationship with them. We have 17 State Fire Fighters and one Military Fire Chief and are in the process of pursuing CPSE Accreditation.
The two departments work a different variation of a 56 hour week shift schedule.
