Description
Passing this 32-hour course allows you to perform the removal of asbestos products in demolition and renovation projects (Class I and II asbestos work) as an AHERA accredited Asbestos Abatement Worker.
The EPA and OSHA require this accreditation if you are removing asbestos-containing products that fill more than one glovebag or waste container.
You learn how to safely remove asbestos products using the most up-to-date methods and equipment. You strengthen your understanding of safety issues, regulations, protocols, and practices that protect workers’ health.
With the guidance of experienced abatement contractors, you practice:
- setting up containments
- taking air samples
- using HEPA vacuums, glovebags, and other safety equipment
Abatement workers must be Supervised by an AHERA accredited Contractor/Supervisor. Supervisors should take the 40-hour Contractor/Supervisor certification course instead of this 32-hour course.
An annual 8-hour refresher course is required to retain your AHERA accreditation and/or California asbestos certification.
