Frequently asked questions
What is AHERA and who needs to comply?
AHERA is the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, requiring all public and non-profit private schools to inspect for asbestos-containing materials, maintain management plans, train staff, and conduct re-inspections and surveillance to protect students and staff.
What does the checklist include?
Our checklist covers general requirements, periodic actions, staff training, recordkeeping, emergency planning, contractor qualifications, and clearance testing – everything your district needs to stay audit-ready.
How often do schools need to re-inspect for asbestos?
AHERA mandates triennial (every 3 years) re-inspections by accredited inspectors, along with 6-month surveillance of known or assumed asbestos materials.
What if it’s already during the school year?
Don’t worry – inspections, training, and management plan updates can be scheduled during breaks or off-hours to keep your district compliant year-round.
