This license ensures that inspectors are properly trained to conduct thorough and accurate inspections, which are critical for developing effective asbestos management and abatement plans.
Purpose: The license ensures that only trained and certified professionals conduct asbestos inspections, providing accurate information on the presence and condition of asbestos-containing materials. This is essential for ensuring the safety of building occupants and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Inspectors collect bulk samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Inspectors document their findings, including the location, condition, and quantity of asbestos-containing materials, and prepare detailed inspection reports.
License holders must adhere to all relevant federal, state, and local regulations regarding asbestos inspection, ensuring that inspections are conducted according to established standards.
Inspectors follow safety protocols to protect themselves and building occupants during the inspection process, including the use of personal protective equipment.
