Event Description:

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 Environmental Protection Agency (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 ACBM, 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.

Other Information:

• Building Inspection begins on Monday morning and ends on Wednesday afternoon.

• Management Planning is held on Thursday and Friday. If possible, bring a copy of your school’s asbestos management plan to work with on Thursday and Friday.
