Who must be licensed or certified
Companies and individuals performing asbestos-related work in New Hampshire generally must be licensed or certified (with few exceptions), including asbestos inspectors, management planners, project designers, abatement supervisors/workers, and abatement entities. Source: NHDES License and Certifications.
Notification before work
An Asbestos Abatement Notification must be submitted at least 10 working days before any major asbestos abatement project. An Asbestos Demolition Notification must be received by NHDES at least 10 working days before demolition that removes a load-bearing member — even if inspection finds no ACM. Source: NHDES Asbestos Management.
Inspections
NHDES states a certified asbestos inspector must inspect the property before a renovation/demolition project begins, and a state-licensed asbestos contractor must be hired when a project will disturb asbestos. Source: Asbestos Management.
Homeowner notes
Homeowners in a single-family dwelling may personally conduct asbestos abatement in their own home and are exempt from many Env-A 1800 requirements, but must still wet materials, minimize disturbance, and properly package, label, document, transport, and dispose of asbestos waste.
