This Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor Initial training course is for any individual who performs supervision of persons permitted to enter the restricted and regulated asbestos abatement work area. The supervisor is also responsible for performing the duties of the OSHA competent person for the asbestos project, consistent with current EPA and OSHA regulations.
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. Please verify these requirements and reciprocity prior to registering for a course.
An Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor must have completed this training, and have a valid certificate with them at all times while working on qualifying projects. 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. Safe work practices, liability, and glove bag procedures are examined in detail.
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.

I recently attended the Asbestos Supervisor course with Marine Chemist Service, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Patrick and Mary were absolutely outstanding instructors. Not only are they clearly experts in their field, but they also have a gift for teaching in a way that is engaging, practical, and easy to follow. Their depth of knowledge and ability to break down complex topics made the course both informative and enjoyable.
The class itself was very well-structured, with a balance of technical information, real-world applications, and interactive discussion. Patrick and Mary encouraged questions throughout and always took the time to provide detailed explanations, drawing from their extensive experience in the industry. They brought a level of professionalism and energy that kept the entire class interested and motivated from start to finish.
What stood out most to me was how approachable they were. Even with such a serious subject matter, they created a learning environment that felt comfortable, supportive, and even fun. It’s rare to find instructors who can cover compliance, safety, and regulations while still keeping the class engaging, but Patrick and Mary achieved that seamlessly.
I would highly recommend Marine Chemist Service to anyone considering asbestos supervisor training or any related certification. If you want to learn from true professionals who care about their students’ success and who are passionate about sharing their knowledge, Patrick and Mary are the ones you want leading your class.
