What Does an Asbestos Abatement Worker Do?

An asbestos abatement worker (asbestos worker or handler) builds regulated work areas, wets and removes asbestos-containing materials such as insulation, flooring and pipe wrap, bags and labels the waste, and decontaminates on the way out.

Workers need an EPA AHERA asbestos worker accreditation, a state license in many states, a respirator fit test and medical clearance.
