What You Need To Know:

• AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) Survey & Management Plans are legally required for all K-12 public and non-profit private schools in the United States to identify and manage asbestos-containing materials.

• These plans entail a comprehensive inspection of school buildings to determine the presence, location, and condition of asbestos-containing materials, followed by the development of strategies for their safe management or abatement.

• AHERA Survey & Management Plans must be reviewed and updated every three years, or whenever there is a change in building use or condition that may affect the presence or condition of asbestos-containing materials.

• Properly executed AHERA plans not only ensure regulatory compliance but also protect the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff by minimizing exposure to airborne asbestos fibers.

• In addition to schools, other public and commercial buildings may also benefit from AHERA Survey & Management Plans to mitigate the risks associated with asbestos-containing materials and ensure a safe environment for occupants.
