Certification Instructions

I took my Asbestos Training….now what?

If you got to this page, that means you received your paperwork from us in the mail. Now here’s what you have to do:

Training Diploma and DOH-2832 (Student Copy)

These are for YOUR RECORDS ONLY.

The DOH-2832 (Student Copy) (aka, the little half-sheet carbon copy piece of paper) is your official record of training, which you will need to supply next year when you need to take your Annual Refresher.

DOH-2832 (Dept. of Labor Copy)

This is what needs to go to the NYSDOL to get your license!

You will need to sign this where indicated (if you didn’t already do it in your In-Person class) and submit this to the NYSDOL with your application and the appropriate fee made payable to the Commissioner of Labor.
