Do not let your asbestos license expire! This Asbestos Inspector Refresher training course is essential for recertification as an Asbestos Inspector. The Asbestos Inspector refresher training recertifies individuals to survey, identify and assess the condition of asbestos and asbestos material and record and report the results. It also accredits any individual handling the collection of bulk samples of asbestos material or suspected asbestos material for laboratory analysis.
OSHA requires that all surfacing material - (i.e. sprayed-on or trowled-on materials) and all thermal systems insulation must be presumed to be asbestos containing materials (PACM) in buildings constructed before 1981. OSHA also requires that in these same buildings, all vinyl, resilient, and asphaltic flooring, and the associated mastics and backings must be assumed to be asbestos containing. Only laboratory analysis of samples obtained by a trained and certified asbestos building inspector can rebut OSHAs position on PACM or flooring in buildings constructed before 1981. Building owners, and those involved with construction activities, must identify all asbestos containing materials in the areas of construction via due diligence.
During this course, students will receive a regulatory review and update on new asbestos legislation pertinent to asbestos abatement work. Beneficial features of this course include real-world examples from experienced instructors, as well as an overview of OSHA, AHERA, NESHAP; acceptable work practices; workplace safety; and air monitoring techniques. You will have the opportunity to interact with your peers and course instructors for maximized learning.
The Following Topics Will Be Reviewed:
- Types and Uses of Asbestos
- Potential Health Effects of Asbestos Exposure
- Federal and State Regulatory Framework
- Function, Qualifications, and Role of Inspectors
- Building Systems
- Public/Employee/Building Occupant Relations
- Pre-Inspection Planning
- Physical Assessment of Friable and Non-Friable ACM
- Respiratory Protection and Personal Protective Equipment
- Legal Liabilities
- Bulk Sampling Documentation and Recordkeeping
- Field Experiences and Hands-On Skill Sets
Please Note: Your state has detailed education, experience and application processing requirements to qualify for licensing in the Asbestos field. Most states administer their own asbestos programs, and each state's Department of Environmental Protection/Health is generally the best place to start with questions about requirements and training. Students are responsible to verify these requirements prior to registering for a course.
IMPORTANT: You are required to bring your most current training certificate with you to the refresher course!
