Inspectors & Management Planners Training-Nov. 10, 2008
This one-day course is designed as an annual refresher course for persons who are accredited inspectors and management planners through an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved training program. The EPA requires reaccreditation of inspectors and management planners who perform work under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). To maintain your status as an accredited inspector you must attend the annual half-day (4 hours) reaccreditation training, plus an additional half-day of training for the management planner reaccreditation.
Building Inspectors & Management Planners Training Nov. 17-21, 2008
This training provides the information needed to monitor and maintain the district’s asbestos program. That person will also be an accredited inspector and management planner upon completion of the program and passing the course test with a minimum score of 70 percent. If your current designated person has not had proper AHERA training, she/he should attend this program.
Building Inspection and Management Planning are EPA approved courses. Federal law requires the use of accredited personnel to inspect for asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) in school buildings and to develop management plans for schools with ACBM. The building inspection and management planning course fulfills the training requirements for accreditation as building inspectors and management planners, respectively. Certificates are awarded to all those completing the course and passing the course competency examination.
Building Inspection–This is a three-day comprehensive course designed to train persons to inspect buildings for asbestos-containing material, assess the condition of ACBM, and prepare reports of the findings.
Management Planning–This is a two-day course preparing persons to assess building inspection reports, evaluate ACBM risks, select control strategies, and develop programs and policies to be followed by the facility owner. Note: EPA requires management planners to complete both an approved building inspection course and management planning.
