Asbestos Project Supervisor (Refresher)

Maintain Your Accreditation and Stay Current with Industry Requirements

Project Supervisors play a critical role in ensuring the safe and compliant execution of asbestos abatement projects. To remain accredited, supervisors must complete annual refresher training equivalent to an EPA-approved course. While OSHA does not issue licenses, it does require ongoing training for workers, competent persons, inspectors, and supervisors—and this course fully meets those requirements.

Delivered under the supervision of the Ivy Tech Environmental Management Institute (Indianapolis), this refresher keeps experienced project supervisors up to date on:

  • Recent changes to federal, state, and local asbestos regulations
  • State-of-the-art abatement and jobsite management practices
  • Key concepts and responsibilities introduced during initial supervisor accreditation
  • Practical solutions to real-world challenges through discussion with peers and instructors

Major Course Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this class, the student will be able to:

  • Updates to federal, state, and local asbestos regulations
  • Nature of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACM)
  • Health effects of asbestos
  • Updated practices for recognizing and working with ACM
  • Updated requirements for asbestos waste disposal

Persons completing the course and attaining at least 70% on the course examination will be issued a certificate for completing the licensing/accreditation process.

Note: Although not mandated by the federal rule, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky (and several other states) require that all persons taking a refresher course must pass a course examination with the minimum of 70%. The examination and a review of the material covered in the initial course are a part of each course.

It is important to complete your refresher training in a timely fashion. Although the federal rule allows you to miss your refresher training for a day less than one year, Indiana requires that you take it within 18 months of the last valid training or re-take the initial course. (And, of course, you cannot perform any work while your license is expired.)
