Jaime Losch has completed a 40-Hour National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Airborne Asbestos Sampling and Analysis Course. Losch is an indoor air quality, asbestos, and lead project scientist with Environmental Compliance Services, Inc. (ECS).
The NIOSH course provides training in correct air sampling procedures and fiber counting techniques, and requires the passing of a practical and written exam. Key discussion points include the major health concerns of asbestos exposure, calibration of sampling equipment, and phase contrast microscopy.
Only a handful of people in Vermont hold this certification, and Losch is the fourth ECS employee to obtain it.
