Asbestos licensing in Georgia
Georgia requires asbestos abatement contractor firms to hold a license from the Environmental Protection Division before removing friable asbestos on projects over 10 square feet or 10 linear feet. The division does not license individual asbestos inspectors, though they need current training from an accredited provider. The division posts lists of firms with EPD licenses but warns they are not updated regularly, so ask for proof of the license on record and check the agency's site for current requirements.
