Which of the following is NOT a task that requires a handler certificate?

  1. Repairing asbestos containing materials

  2. Encapsulating asbestos

  3. Designing asbestos remediation plans

  4. Disturbing asbestos during renovation

The correct answer is: Designing asbestos remediation plans

Designing asbestos remediation plans does not require a handler certificate because this task falls under the category of planning and management rather than physical handling of asbestos-containing materials. Handler certificates are specifically required for individuals who are involved in the actual manipulation, disturbance, or management of asbestos materials, such as repairing, encapsulating, or disturbing asbestos during renovation activities. These tasks pose direct exposure risks to workers and require specialized training to safely manage the asbestos. In contrast, developing a remediation plan involves assessment and strategy formulation, which does not involve direct interaction with hazardous materials.
