Training Services International is your all-in-one provider for asbestos services, offering everything from inspections and management plan development to abatement and compliance monitoring. Our team ensures seamless support for businesses, combining training, certification, and consulting to meet all asbestos-related needs.
Hire a certified asbestos inspector trained under an EPA-approved program to evaluate the building. The inspector performs a visual assessment of all areas, including classrooms, storage spaces, and mechanical rooms, identifying suspect materials. Bulk samples of suspect materials are collected, labeled, and sent to an accredited laboratory for asbestos analysis.
Develop an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) that includes all identified ACM, sampling results, and recommended actions to manage or remediate the materials. Assign a Designated Person (DP) to oversee compliance, ensuring regular inspections and recordkeeping. Notify building occupants (or parents, for schools) annually about ACM presence and provide access to the management plan.
Conduct visual inspections of asbestos-containing materials every six months to monitor its condition and identify any signs of damage or disturbance. These periodic checks help ensure prompt action if deterioration occurs. All findings are documented and added to the management plan for ongoing monitoring.
Asbestos abatement involves safely removing, repairing, or encapsulating asbestos-containing materials (ACM) to eliminate exposure risks. The process starts with developing a detailed abatement plan, hiring licensed asbestos contractors, and sealing off the affected area to prevent contamination. After completing the work, post-abatement clearance testing, including air sampling and visual inspections, ensures the area is safe for reoccupation and documented for compliance.
Keep detailed records of all inspections, surveillance activities, laboratory results, notifications, and training for at least three years. TSI will help you ensure that these records are easily accessible for regulatory audits and parental confidence. Proper recordkeeping demonstrates compliance and protects against potential penalties.
The Designated Person ensures compliance with all AHERA regulations, including timely inspections, reinspections, and staff training. They maintain all documentation and act as the liaison with inspectors, contractors, and regulatory authorities. Their role is critical to the successful implementation and maintenance of the asbestos management plan.
Many asbestos certifications require yearly refreshers to stay active. We provide comprehensive refresher courses designed to keep professionals up to date with the latest regulations and practices. For those just entering the field, we also offer initial asbestos training programs to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed for a successful start in the industry.
