Why Should You Take This Asbestos Project Monitor Course?
The Asbestos Project Monitor training accredits individuals to function as the on-site representative of the facility owner or supervisor during an asbestos abatement project. Project Monitors interpret project specifications or abatement plans and monitor contractor or employee compliance with applicable rules, regulations, or specifications. (Note: This course is not intended to supplement training for Asbestos Contractor/Supervisors or Worker/Handlers).
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.
A Project Monitor must possess a valid Project Monitor certificate and must have a copy 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 Following Topics Will Be Covered:
- Background Information on Asbestos
- Health Effects of Asbestos Exposure
- Roles and Responsibilities of the Project Monitor
- Federal and State Regulations
- Respiratory Protection Program
- Medical Monitoring
- Insurance and Liability Considerations
- Supervisory Techniques
- Identification and Control Options
- State-of-the-Art Work Practices
- Personal Hygiene of the Worker
- Additional Safety Hazards
- Air Monitoring
- Pre and Post Work Activities and Safety Considerations
- Contract Specifications
- Record-Keeping
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.
