Application for Asbestos Worker License

Asbestos Abatement

In the mid-1980s, newly enacted state and federal legislation required that schools be inspected for asbestos and that plans for its management be developed. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) staff reviews asbestos management plans for elementary and secondary school facilities and inspects abatement projects to ensure compliance with state and federal laws. More recently enacted legislation regulates persons who perform asbestos-related activities in commercial and public buildings and requires that such activities be carried out safely. People who manage or abate asbestos in elementary and secondary schools must be trained and licensed.

The IDPH has established separate licensing criteria for various asbestos management disciplines. All licenses expire on May 15 each year, except Workers, which expire on February 1 each year.
