COURSE TITLE

AHERA Refresher for Asbestos Inspectors and Management Planners

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course meets the AHERA annual retraining requirement for individuals who have already taken Building Inspection for Asbestos or Building Inspection and Management Planning for Asbestos. The morning session— AHERA Refresher Course for Asbestos Inspectors— can be taken separately as a half-day course. Both sessions cover EPA required topics, including a review of regulations, new legislation, and topics from the original course.

Every year we cover new special topics. The topics often involve interesting case studies that demonstrate particular problems or concerns in the industry. For example, we recently looked at what happened when an asbestos release contaminated an entire San Francisco neighborhood. This year we're focusing on the problems encountered by a school where asbestos was inadvertently disturbed in many classrooms. Within the context of these case studies we discuss different methods of hazard assessment and sampling and appropriate response options.

Many other training providers try to use the course materials we wrote for this course, because they know our materials are the best. No other school even comes close to matching the number and quality of our instructors. The best materials and the best instructors make for the best value in asbestos training.

To use these courses for AHERA reaccreditation purposes, enrollees must bring the original certificate from their most recent EPA-approved inspector and/or management planner training course.
