Asbestos Training

Asbestos training per EPA’s Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA) and OSHA 1910.1001.

iSi’s longtime asbestos instructor, Ron Aunquoe, is back after a year’s hiatus to provide instruction for our classes.  iSi will be issuing certificates as our training is accredited by the State of Missouri (Missouri Training Provider MO#126). Please let us know at registration if you plan to be licensed in Missouri so we can be sure you take the Missouri test. Your certificates will allow you to practice in Missouri (as long as you take the Missouri-specific test) and any other state which just requires training on the EPA regulations such as Kansas, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico and any other EPA only state. Some additional states such as Oklahoma also accepts the Missouri certificate.

Currently we’re only providing the refresher classes of Contractor/Supervisor, Inspector and Operations and Maintenance.  Occasionally we may schedule an initial class out of necessity or demand.  If you would like to be notified of upcoming initial classes, please email us here.  Due to lack of demand, iSi chose to no longer be licensed to provide Management Planner, Worker or Project Designer training, however, we do have persons on our staff who are still licensed and certified in these areas to assist you in any projects needing these disciplines.  

Contractor/

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens if I miss my annual refresher? Will I have to take the full class over again?

You have a 12-month grace period if you miss your refresher. After the 12-month grace period, you would have to take the initial course over again.  However, once you’re past your annual refresher date, you cannot practice that asbestos discipline until you receive your refresher.
