COURSE TITLE
Designing Asbestos Abatement Projects
COURSE DESCRIPTION
(AHERA Project Designer Course)
This three-day course provides AHERA accredited contractors/ supervisors
with the opportunity to study, evaluate, and design asbestos response
options for complex but common asbestos abatement problems.
The course includes two days of classroom discussion, a field exercise,
and a one-day design workshop. You quickly review the OSHA, EPA, and
California asbestos regulations and legal liability issues. Then Cal/OSHA
certified consultants discuss the more difficult aspects of air sampling,
respiratory protection, cost estimating, and abatement work practices.
You participate in an elaborate exercise that helps you identify and
evaluate critical components of the design process. Enrollment is limited.
Required Textbook
Besides the standard EPA course materials used by most training providers,
we'll give you several hundred pages of course material developed and copyrighted
by UC Berkeley. 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.
Advance Enrollment Required
Class size is limited. You will recieve an e-mail confirmation of registration containing course and payment information. A registration reminder with an attached .pdf file containing directions to the course site and other course related information will be e-mailed to you at least one week prior to the course start date. Please call 510-643-7277 for directions if you register late and/or do not receive the e-mailed information.
