General Description:

Asbestos Inspector courses offered at Chem Scope are CT DPH approved and meet MAP requirements of AHERA, ASHARA, NESHAP, CONES and OSHA. Students who successfully complete the initial course become EPA accredited in the particular discipline and are eligible for licensing in CT and the CONES states.

Refresher courses are required annually in each discipline for which the student is accredited.  Refresher training for inspectors is 1/2 a day.  The inspectors and inspector / management planners must take the courses separately. All refresher courses are separate and distinct courses and not combined with any other training during the period of the refresher course.

Refresher training includes a review and discussion of changes in and interpretation of applicable state and federal laws, regulations, policies and guidelines, developments or changes in state-of-the art procedures and equipment and a review of key areas of initial training specific to each discipline. 

Verification of accreditation information:

Training providers of refresher courses must confirm that their students possess valid accreditation before granting course admission.
