Why Should You Take This Asbestos Air Sampling Technician Course?

This Asbestos Air Sampling Technician training accredits individuals to perform indoor air sampling before, during and after asbestos abatement projects. The air sampling technician course includes information on methodology for representative quality assurance for both personal and area sampling for phase contrast microscopy (PCM) and transmission electron microscopy analysis (TEM).

Training for asbestos abatement professionals is required under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA), which is the authority under which EPA issued the EPA Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan. This course has been granted full approval by the EPA and various States to meet AHERA and ASHARA accreditation requirements for asbestos work in K-12 schools, as well as in public and commercial buildings.

An Air Sampling Technician shall have a valid Air Sampling Technician certificate and have a copy in his/her possession at all times while working on the project. This workshop prepares you to immediately apply your knowledge to the field, with extensive hands-on training and real-world examples from experienced instructors. It combines lectures, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations.

 

Topics To Be Covered Include:

  • Background and Overview of Asbestos
  • Health Effects of Asbestos Exposure
  • Overview of Abatement Construction Projects
  • Federal and State Regulatory Overview
  • Principles of Asbestos Abatement Procedures and Practices
  • Personal protective Equipment and Personal Hygiene
  • Decontamination Systems
  • Safety and Health Hazards
  • Principles of Air Monitoring
  • Representative Quality Assurance for Personal and Area Sampling
  • Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) Analysis
  • Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Analysis

 

Please Note: Your state has detailed education, experience and application processing requirements to qualify for licensing in the Asbestos field. Most states administer their own asbestos programs, and each state's Department of Environmental Protection/Health is generally the best place to start with questions about requirements and training. Students are responsible to verify these requirements prior to registering for a course.
