NV Asbestos Abatement study plan

NV Asbestos Abatement · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Removal of Asbestos (Classification A-23 scope of work) & Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 624 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 624 compliance

  • Map the A-23 removal scope: list the sequence of abatement activities from containment setup through clearance, and label which step each NAC 624 asbestos provision governs

  • Define the key removal terms (regulated asbestos-containing material, friable vs. non-friable, abatement, containment, negative air, glovebag, wetting, HEPA filtration) in your own words on flashcards

  • Distinguish Category I and Category II non-friable material and state when each becomes regulated

  • Read NRS 624.010-624.100 and write a one-line summary of each definition and its practical effect on an abatement job

Your checkpoint

A one-page removal-sequence flowchart with each step cross-referenced to the governing NAC provision, plus a 25-term glossary

Week 2

Removal of Asbestos (Classification A-23 scope of work)

  • Describe containment construction for a full enclosure and a small-scale short-duration job, and explain the difference in engineering controls

  • Explain negative air pressure setup, air changes per hour, and HEPA exhaust placement, and calculate the number of units needed for a stated room volume

  • Outline worker protection steps: respiratory protection selection, decontamination shower and change room flow, and waste bagging and labeling

  • Sequence clearance air monitoring: state when sampling occurs, what aggressive sampling means, and what result permits reoccupancy

Your checkpoint

A written removal work plan for a hypothetical 500 sq ft interior abatement, covering containment, engineering controls, worker protection, waste handling, and clearance criteria

Week 3

Removal of Asbestos (Classification A-23 scope of work) & Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 624 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 624 compliance

  • Compare removal methods (glovebag, wrap-and-cut, mini-enclosure, full containment) and justify a method choice for three different material scenarios

  • Identify the notification and recordkeeping duties that attach before, during, and after removal, and note the deadline for each

  • Explain how a compliance inspector would evaluate a site, and list the five most common deficiencies you would expect to find

  • Practice reading a scenario and spotting the first violation in the described sequence

Your checkpoint

A 15-question self-written scenario quiz on removal practice with answer key and cited rule for each item

Week 4

Nevada contractor licensing requirements and application process & Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 624 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 624 compliance

  • Trace the Nevada contractor licensing application from initial inquiry to license issuance, listing every document and fee at each stage

  • Explain the role of the classification system and state exactly what the A-23 classification authorizes and what it excludes

  • Describe the qualifier requirement, including experience verification and the qualifier's ongoing duties

  • Summarize the disciplinary grounds and the complaint-to-hearing process under NRS 624

Your checkpoint

A licensing application checklist with a timeline table showing who acts at each step and the expected duration

Week 5

Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 624 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 624 compliance

  • Build a citation index of the NRS 624 sections most tested on: licensing, unlicensed contracting, advertising, bid limits, and disciplinary action

  • Translate each major NAC 624 requirement into a plain-English compliance action a job-site supervisor would perform

  • Explain the consequences of contracting without a license, including contract enforceability and civil exposure

  • Distinguish the roles of the Board, the executive officer, and the hearing process in enforcement

Your checkpoint

A two-column compliance matrix pairing at least 20 NRS/NAC requirements with the specific on-the-job action that satisfies each

Week 6

Business and financial responsibility, bonding, and contractor obligations

  • Explain the financial responsibility requirements, including the minimum net worth or working capital thresholds and how they are documented

  • Describe each type of surety bond and license bond a Nevada contractor may be required to carry, and the purpose of each

  • Outline the recovery fund: who may claim, what it covers, the cap, and the process

  • List the recordkeeping, trust-fund handling, and prompt-payment obligations that create financial liability

Your checkpoint

A financial responsibility one-pager covering net worth, bonding, recovery fund, and recordkeeping, with a worked example of a compliant balance sheet summary

Week 7

Removal of Asbestos (Classification A-23 scope of work) & Nevada contractor licensing requirements and application process & Business and financial responsibility, bonding, and contractor obligations

  • Integrate the domains by writing a project scenario where a contractor bids, licenses, performs, and closes out an asbestos abatement job

  • Identify the three points in that scenario where licensing, removal, and financial duties intersect

  • Rehearse explaining the A-23 scope boundary to a client who asks for work outside it

  • Review missed items from weeks 1-6 and correct your notes

Your checkpoint

A full worked case study of one abatement project from bid to final payment, annotated with the governing rule at each decision point

Week 8

Removal of Asbestos (Classification A-23 scope of work) & Nevada contractor licensing requirements and application process & Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 624 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 624 compliance & Business and financial responsibility, bonding, and contractor obligations

  • Take two full-length timed practice exams under test conditions and score each domain separately

  • For every missed question, write the correct rule and the reason your answer was wrong

  • Drill the 30 highest-risk facts (fees, deadlines, thresholds, caps, notification periods) until recall is automatic

  • Build a final one-page summary sheet you could review in the hour before the exam

Your checkpoint

Two scored practice exams with a written error log and a final one-page summary sheet
