1. (1) Certification requirements. Except as provided in ss. DHS 159.06 and 159.09, no individual may perform, supervise or offer to perform or supervise an asbestos activity or asbestos management activity unless the individual has valid certification from the department in the applicable discipline under sub. (2) or (3).

   Note: See s. DHS 159.13 (1) for requirement that an individual be associated with a certified asbestos company before conducting a regulated asbestos activity.

2. (2) Disciplines. An individual may be certified in one or more of the following disciplines:

   1. (a) Asbestos supervisor.
   2. (b) Asbestos worker.
   3. (c) Asbestos inspector.
   4. (d) Asbestos management planner.
   5. (e) Asbestos project designer.
   6. (f) Exterior asbestos supervisor.
   7. (g) Exterior asbestos worker.

3. (3) Roofing disciplines. An individual with an unexpired department-issued roofing supervisor certification or roofing worker certification may conduct roofing work authorized by the certification until the certification expiration date. An individual with an unexpired department-issued roofing supervisor certification may convert this certification to an exterior asbestos supervisor certification by completing the exterior asbestos supervisor refresher training course under s. DHS 159.12 (4) (f) and submitting the application and fee required under s. DHS 159.07. An individual with an unexpired department-issued roofing worker certification may convert this certification to an exterior asbestos worker certification by completing the initial exterior worker training course required under s. DHS 159.12 (3) (g) and submitting the application and fee required under s. DHS 159.07.

   Note: The exterior asbestos supervisor discipline replaces the roofing supervisor discipline and the exterior asbestos worker discipline replaces the roofing worker discipline. The new exterior asbestos certifications authorize individuals to perform asbestos abatement activities on siding in addition to roofs.

   1. (a) The individual is 18 years of age or older.
