This course meets the hands-on requirements for the OSHA Class III Asbestos Worker as defined in 29 CFR 1926.1101. Students MUST have completed EPA Office of Land and Emergency Management (Superfund) Asbestos Safety Course and received a course completion certificate. This course includes an in-person, participatory training module with a Regional Asbestos TRW workgroup member or a Regional Safety Health and Environmental Manager (SHEM).
Note: This training does not meet the Asbestos NESHAP requirements to conduct asbestos inspections in Schools, or Public or Commercial Buildings. Additional training would be required if EPA personnel are conducting an AHERA/ASHARA inspection, acting as a Supervisor of an abatement crew or performing actual asbestos abatement.
Course is open to EPA staff, but priority registration will be given to OSCs.
