-
- At this time most of the states have promulgated
regulations to administer their own state run ASBESTOS
and LEAD
programs. Although each state run program is different, most state
regulations require licensing for each state you work in. Most
states license and approve the training providers as well as the
consulting and contracting companies and in some cases the
individual employees. When you apply for your state license you
will be required to provide a completed application, fees and your
certificate(s) of training.
-
- Here's where it gets tricky. Some of the state licensing
requirements call for your training provider to be approved by
that state. On the other hand, in other states your certificate is
"accepted" and you can get your state license as long as the
training provider is approved by the U.S. EPA or any other state
that has a training provider approval process. This is called
reciprocity. One state is reciprocal with another or several
states. Not all States are reciprocal.
-
- When states don't have their own implemented program, the
state must rely on the Federal U.S. EPA's laws. For Lead, the U.S.
EPA operates a licensing program for the few states left without
implemented programs. For Asbestos, the EPA does not run a
licensing program. Although there is no Federal licensing program
for asbestos states, trained persons are required on all NESHAP
defined public and commercial buildings. Additionally, most
consulting firms write into the project specifications the
requirement for trained employees regardless of the type of
work.

- Seagull holds and maintains full Federal US EPA approval
for all of our courses as well as state approvals in most
states.
-
- Seagull courses are designed to meet the State laws in
which Seagull courses are offered. This has resulted in a Seagull
certificate of completion being the most universally accepted
certificate in the country. Through over 250 State and Federal
audits, Seagull courses have proven to be complete, accurate,
consistent, and effective.
