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 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.

We had two instructors for the two day session. Our instructor for the first day was Ganesh and he was extremely knowledgeable regarding Asbestos regulations, procedures and operations. On the second day we had Pablo teach us the hands on procedures for Globe bagging and for proper removal of pipe asbestos. He also gave us a comprehensive exam review and made us feel prepared for the test.
I highly recommend taking this course to not only receive the certificate, but to also enhance your knowledge and safety. Matt N.

Knowledgeable. Easy to work with. Responded well to questions. Class had a nice pace. I was able to take good notes and did not feel rushed. Only negativeaccent makes him difficult to understand at times but it was not a major issue. Would be happy to take another class with Mr. Garzon. Roy M.
