Under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires each
elementary and secondary school to perform an inspection for asbestos-containing
building materials and to prepare an asbestos management plan.
The AHERA regulations further require a Surveillance Report every
six months and a Comprehensive Re-Inspection every three years.
The Reinspection period provides an excellent opportunity for schools
to re-evaluate and update their programs for managing asbestos.
