1. Under the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules (TAHPR), what
is the primary responsibility of an Asbestos Management Planner?
A. Performing asbestos abatement work
B. Conducting laboratory analysis of asbestos samples
C. Developing and updating asbestos management plans based on
inspection data
D. Issuing demolition permits
Answer: C. Developing and updating asbestos management plans
based on inspection data
Rationale: The Management Planner evaluates inspection findings,
assesses hazards, prioritizes response actions, and develops
comprehensive asbestos management plans. The planner does not
perform abatement or laboratory analysis.
2. Which federal regulation primarily establishes the requirement for
asbestos management plans in schools?
A. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200
B. EPA AHERA (40 CFR Part 763)
C. Clean Air Act Section 608
D. RCRA Subtitle C
1
,Answer: B. EPA AHERA (40 CFR Part 763)
Rationale: AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act)
requires inspections, management plans, periodic surveillance, and
response actions for asbestos-containing materials in schools.
3. The primary purpose of a management plan is to:
A. Eliminate every asbestos-containing material immediately
B. Document asbestos hazards and establish procedures to manage them
safely
C. Increase demolition efficiency
D. Replace OSHA standards
Answer: B. Document asbestos hazards and establish procedures to
manage them safely
Rationale: Management plans are intended to minimize asbestos
exposure through proper identification, monitoring, operations and
maintenance, response actions, and documentation.
4. Friable asbestos-containing material is defined as material that:
A. Cannot be damaged
B. Contains less than 1% asbestos
C. Can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure
when dry
D. Is located outdoors only
Answer: C. Can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by
hand pressure when dry
Rationale: Friability is an important characteristic because friable
ACM readily releases airborne fibers when disturbed.

, 5. What asbestos content qualifies a material as asbestos-containing
material (ACM)?
A. More than 0.5%
B. More than 2%
C. More than 1%
D. More than 10%
Answer: C. More than 1%
Rationale: Federal regulations define ACM as material containing more
than 1% asbestos as determined by approved analytical methods.
6. Which document forms the foundation for preparing a
management plan?
A. Employee handbook
B. Building inspection report
C. Fire evacuation map
D. Maintenance budget
Answer: B. Building inspection report
Rationale: The planner relies heavily on inspection findings, sample
results, damage assessments, and accessibility evaluations.
7. Which asbestos type was most commonly used in building
materials?
A. Crocidolite
B. Chrysotile
C. Tremolite
D. Anthophyllite
3
, Answer: B. Chrysotile
Rationale: Chrysotile (white asbestos) accounts for the majority of
asbestos used commercially in construction materials.
8. Which response action is generally appropriate for asbestos in
good condition?
A. Immediate removal
B. Encapsulation or operations and maintenance
C. Demolition
D. Sanding
Answer: B. Encapsulation or operations and maintenance
Rationale: Good-condition ACM often poses minimal risk if left
undisturbed and properly managed through an O&M program.
9. Which factor has the greatest influence on fiber release?
A. Paint color
B. Material disturbance
C. Room temperature
D. Building age
Answer: B. Material disturbance
Rationale: Physical disturbance significantly increases airborne
asbestos fiber release.
10. The purpose of periodic surveillance is to:
A. Collect taxes
B. Monitor ACM condition over time
