Asbestos Worker License

What does licensing for asbestos workers require?

Asbestos abatement in most states requires certain education and training. 

Be sure your asbestos abatement professional is licensed and up to date on required methods and knowledge.

Most states require a license to perform asbestos work. A certificate of course completion is needed to apply for a license. There are five disciplines of asbestos training. They are: 

• Asbestos Abatement Supervisor
• Asbestos Abatement Worker
• Inspector
• Management Planner
• Project Designer

Casi todos los edificios construidos antes de mediados de la década de 1980 contenían productos y materiales de construcción de asbesto.

The Investment in Hiring an Asbestos Removal Contractor

There is no sugarcoating the fact that asbestos removal is expensive. While removing or encapsulating asbestos on your own can save as much as $75 to $200 per hour, it is not recommended, and the cost of improper removal can far outweigh any savings in the long run. Moreover, some local ordinances restrict or ban DIY asbestos removal altogether.

Asbestos work is dangerous and requires the proper safety equipment, sealant, a HEPA vacuum, and a means of properly disposing of it. All these things add to the safety risk and expenses. Asbestos abatement is costly, but hiring an asbestos removal company saves hassle, time, and severe health risks.  

Several health studies have shown that the spouses of asbestos workers are at an elevated level of risk for asbestos illnesses like cáncer de pulmón. ^{2 3 4 5}

Regulations on the removal of asbestos and licensing to complete this work can vary by state.

But there are important federal regulations about asbestos to know as well.

Strict laws regulate the demolition, encapsulation, demolish, and disposal of asbestos. Hiring a professional protects against potential violations. Asbestos is a carcinogen and DIYers can easily inhale fibers. Most people do not have proper PPE equipment and a commercial HEPA vacuum. Removal contractors have these things handy, are familiar with the local and state laws and have the required permits and licenses to do the work safely and effectively.

Legal Liability Risks to Landlord

Typically, a landlord is legally responsible for making a building or dwelling reasonably safe for tenants. They should be aware of possible asbestos exposure and eradicate the issue if needed. Defendants in property owner negligence claims may receive compensation for injuries, emotional distress, and other noneconomic losses as a result of living in a space with asbestos. 

Before compensation is awarded, a lawyer must prove lack of adequate care or negligence with credible and convincing evidence. The burden of asbestos exposure proof is relatively easy. Most lawyers can establish proof based on the nature of the injury or accident as well as through permits and other building records. 

On the other hand, assumption of risk is a common defense in insurance claims. A property owner is not legally responsible if a victim voluntarily assumes a known risk. Any structure built before 1980 likely contains asbestos, and while landlords should take steps to prevent contamination, contracts may explicitly specify this risk.

Testing for Asbestos

Using a licensed and qualified expert is the best and safest way to conduct asbestos testing. Experts closely follow EPA safety guidelines for collecting samples, abatement, and disposal. Extracted samples are sent to a specialized asbestos analysis lab. There are asbestos testing kits available for DIYers as well. The instructions need to be followed to the letter in order to minimize harm.

Danger to Employees

Certain occupations, such as construction workers or factory, refinery, foundry, or shipyard employees, may be exposed to asbestos hazards. Workers who renovate and demolish older buildings are also at risk.  

Asbestos’s durability and heat resistance made it useful in HVAC installation before the 1980s. It was used in piping insulation, door gaskets, air duct covers, boilers, and oil and coal-burning furnaces. Due to the number of areas subject to asbestos exposure risk, it is best to call a professional to prevent health issues later.

Another area of widespread use of asbestos was in roofing. Any siding, underlayment, or shingles manufactured before the mid-1980s may contain harmful asbestos. Removing moss from asbestos garage roofing is dangerous. There are also risks for drywall workers. Workers should wear protective clothing when working around known or potential asbestos exposure.
