Why Should You Take This Asbestos Project Designer Course
This Asbestos Project Designer Initial training accredits individuals to plan the scope, timing, phasing, and remediation methods for an asbestos project. Accreditation as a Project Designer allows one to apply knowledge of building construction in the design and development of abatement projects, abatement specifications, bidding documents, architectural drawings, and schematic representations of material locations.
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.
A Project Designer must possess a valid Project Designer certificate and have a copy of their certificate with them 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
- Safety System Design Specifications
- Personal Protective Equipment
- Safety and Health Considerations Other Than Asbestos
- Designing Asbestos Abatement Solutions
- Roles of Other Consultants
- Asbestos Waste Disposal
- Budgeting and Cost Estimating
- Legal Liabilities
- Writing Abatement Specifications

- Field Experience and Hands-On Activities
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.
