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.
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.

I thought the the overall course was good. The materials that were provided and the visual aids were excellent. I recognize that these courses are a little challenging on the instructors due to the variances of the experience level of the students. Having said that, I believe the course could have been better on the regulations of why we do and don't do certain things. The hands on portion of building a containment was not realistic at all, but after working in the industry for 20 years it still was one of the better courses that I have attended in over 15 years. The course was split between two instructors because the first instructor had to leave for the last 2 days and bury his father which is understandable but his teaching style was more designed for what's on the test and the second instructors teaching style was more realistic on the do's and don'ts of the the regulations which enjoyed. 3317 3rd Avenue S Suite D, Seattle, WA 98134
