General. A. The Asbestos Abatement Accreditation and Certification Act, codified as Miss. Code Ann. §§ 37-138-1 through 37-138-31, requires that, beginning on the effective date of these regulations, all persons who perform inspections and re-inspections, prepare management plans and perform as air monitors, contractors, project designers, supervisors, and workers in abatement projects for the purpose of identifying, evaluating, and abating the hazard of asbestos-containing material in public and private elementary and secondary school buildings and in all public and commercial buildings in this State must be accredited and certified as qualified to perform such activities. B. These regulations provide requirements for the accreditation and certification of inspectors, management planners, project designers, air monitors, contractors, supervisors, and workers for the abatement of asbestos containing material. These regulations do not provide requirements pertaining to the quality of inspections, management plans, project designs, or asbestos projects but instead require the utilization of personnel certified in accordance with these regulations in the event such activities are performed in or on a school building, public building, or commercial building.
