Designated Persons

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) regulations for schools require each District to name a designated person to maintain the schools asbestos management plans (AMP). Maintaining the plan can be a complex task that involves a wide variety of activities. Some of these activities include:

• Providing yearly written notification to all parents and staff about the status of the AMP.
• Conducting six (6) month surveillance of all asbestos containing material in all buildings.
• Ensuring that all asbestos related activities utilizes licensed personnel and is properly documented
• Ensure that all custodial staff receives awareness training.
• Ensure that asbestos materials are properly labeled.
• Inform all contractors of the presence of asbestos in the building
• Ensure all documentation is readily available at each school
• Ensure that 3-year re-inspections are conducted by a licensed inspector.
