This Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor Initial training course is for any individual who performs supervision of persons permitted to enter the restricted and regulated asbestos abatement work area. The supervisor is also responsible for performing the duties of the OSHA competent person for the asbestos project, consistent with current EPA and OSHA regulations.
An Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor must have completed this training, and have a valid certificate with them at all times while working on qualifying projects. This workshop prepares you to immediately apply your knowledge to the field, with extensive hands-on training and real-world examples from experienced instructors.

This class was great! We had two instructors that were extremely helpful throughout our week spent in the classroom. I’ve a very “Hands-On” learner which worked out fantastically since two days out of the week we were able to build containment’s for a better understanding of what it was going to be like in the real-world. Highly recommend! Mark J.
