11-27-2024 - Asbestos Worker Refresher - Portsmouth, VA

Why Should You Take This Asbestos Worker Refresher Course?

Do not let your Asbestos Worker license expire! The Asbestos Worker refresher training recertifies individuals to remove, encapsulate, enclose, repair or disturb friable or non-friable asbestos, and to handle asbestos material in any manner which may result in the release of asbestos fiber on an asbestos abatement project.

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. 

An Asbestos Worker must have a valid certificate or a copy of their certificate with them at all times while working on the project, and work under the supervision of a certified Asbestos Supervisor. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of re-accreditation as an Asbestos Worker/Handler.

The Following Topics Will Be Reviewed:

• Personal Protective Equipment
• Personal Hygiene
• Work Area Preparation
• Engineering Controls
• Decontamination System
• Work Practices
• Safety Hazards

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!
