NV Asbestos Abatement study plan
NV Asbestos Abatement · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
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
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
Removal of Asbestos (Classification A-23 scope of work) & Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 624 and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 624 compliance

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