This course was developed in response to the requirements of the AHERA regulations and must be preceded by successful completion of the inspector's course. The course specifically prepares management planners to develop written plans for managing asbestos-containing materials in schools and for making recommendations to school officials for response actions. It examines methods for interpreting survey results, hazard assessment, evaluation and selecting control options, and assembling the management plan itself. The training course package contains a student notebook, instructor's syllabus, slides and the EPA 'Green Book'.
