Can anyone explain to me the future certifications needed to properly remove or deal with lead and asbestos? Where do I take classes and the cost of those classes to get certified in them.

Also, what is your companies current guild lines you follow when dealing with lead and asbestos?

I know a lot of companies in my area just act like they are no big deal, and remove them without any precautions, but I don’t want to be like them.

Up here in Canada we have not yet set any guidlines as for removing lead, prior to 1978. Asbestos is a whole different game. You might want to check out the red board and do a search on lead. I know there is a lot of discussion on that topic and the new regulations that have taken effect.

coastly venture unless you have alot of work. good thing is you pretty well need the same equipment for both mold and asbestos? Sub the work out you will never afford the insurance and training of techs if you only dabble in it?
