Why Should You Take This Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Initial Course?
This Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Initial training accredits individuals to perform operations, maintenance and repair activities which may disturb minor quantities of ACM, PACM or asbestos material. This course is designed primarily for custodial and maintenance personnel and individuals in the building trades. Operation and Maintenance certification permits the holder to perform OSHA Class III & IV asbestos work only on minor asbestos projects. Minor asbestos projects must be associated with repairs required in the performance of emergency or routine maintenance activity, and is not intended solely as asbestos abatement.
Class III Asbestos Work – repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI and surfacing ACM and PACM is likely to be disturbed.
Class IV Asbestos Work – maintenance and custodial activities during which employee contact, but do not disturb, ACM or PACM , and activities to clean up dust, waste and debris resulting
from Class I, II, and III Activities.
Training for asbestos abatement professionals is required under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA), which is the authority under which EPA issued the EPA Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan. This course has been granted full approval by the EPA and various States to meet AHERA and ASHARA accreditation requirements for asbestos work in K-12 schools, as well as in public and commercial buildings.
An Operations & Maintenance worker shall have a valid Operations & Maintenance certificate and must have their certificate or a copy of their certificate with them at all times while working on the project. This workshop prepares you to immediately apply your knowledge to the field, with extensive hands-on training and real-world examples from experienced instructors. It combines lectures, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations.

The class was informative. I gained a healthy respect for, and a severe fear of asbestos. I feel confident I could now safely remove a glove bags worth of asbestos, and build a small containment area with a proper entrance. I thought the instructor was extremely versed and knowledgeable about the subject. The instructor was clear, organized, and obvious he had done this many times. The breaks were perfect and I appreciated the coffee and doughnuts. Stefan D.

He took us through the handon portion of the course in a stepbystep process that reinforced my understanding of the material and even challenged me a bit. I thouroughly enjoyed the class, the facility and his instruction. Thank you. 1331 Ashton Road, Hanover, MD 21076
