Virginia Law

A. The department will send a renewal notice to each regulant at the address of record. Failure to receive the notice does not relieve the licensee or the accredited asbestos training program of the obligation to renew.

B. Prior to the license expiration, each licensed asbestos analytical laboratory desiring to renew the license must submit the appropriate fee specified in 18VAC15-21-190 to the department. A licensed asbestos analytical laboratory must also submit documentation that the laboratory continues to meet the requirements specified in 18VAC15-21-160 for the type of analysis the laboratory is licensed to perform.

C. Prior to the license expiration date, each licensed individual desiring to renew a license must provide evidence of meeting the annual refresher training requirement for license renewal and the appropriate fee specified in 18VAC15-21-190. The board will accept any asbestos training programs that are approved by EPA or the board. A copy of the training certificate documenting the successful completion of the refresher training for the license type being renewed and meeting the requirements outlined in this chapter must accompany the fee.

1. For renewal of an asbestos worker license, the board will accept evidence of completion of asbestos supervisor refresher training to satisfy the refresher training requirement.

2. For renewal of an asbestos management planner license, a management planner must complete both a management planner refresher training program and an inspector refresher training program.

3. For renewal of an asbestos project monitor license, the board will accept evidence of the following to satisfy the refresher training requirement:

a. For project monitors who also hold a valid Virginia asbestos supervisor or project designer license, completion of a supervisor refresher or project designer refresher, as is applicable to the EPA certification submitted for initial licensure as specified in 18VAC15-21-90; or

b. For project monitors who hold only a project monitor license, completion of a board-approved asbestos project monitor refresher training program to meet renewal requirements.

D. Prior to the approval letter expiration date, each accredited asbestos training program desiring to renew the approval must submit the appropriate fee specified in 18VAC-15-21-190.

E. Annual refresher training certificates will only be used once to renew an individual license.

F. Each license and each accredited asbestos training program approval that is not renewed within 30 days of the expiration date on the license or approval letter will be subject to late renewal fees as established in 18VAC15-21-190.

G. A firm with an asbestos contractor license must provide documentation that the corresponding contractor license issued by the Board for Contractors is current and valid. Upon verification of the firm's licensure with the Board for Contractors, the board will renew the asbestos contractor license for a license term that coincides with the license issued by the Board for Contractors.

H. Each license and each approved accredited asbestos training program that is not renewed within 12 months after the expiration date will not be renewed. The individual or firm must apply for a new license or approval and meet entry requirements current at the time the new application is submitted.
