Any person working on an asbestos project or in an asbestos occupation in Nebraska is required to obtain certification.

An asbestos occupation means an inspector, management planner, project designer, project monitor, supervisor, or worker, and certification means an authorization issued by the Department of  Regulation and Licensure Licensing & Regulatory Affairs permitting an individual to work in an asbestos occupation.  An asbestos project includes the following activities which may only be performed by certified individuals: determining whether asbestos containing material exists, assessing the condition of asbestos containing material, preparing plans and specifications for an asbestos project, performing the asbestos project, and performing final clearance air sampling or soil sampling at the end of an asbestos project.
