Kansas Asbestos Abatement Contractor License
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), through the Bureau of Air, licenses companies that perform asbestos abatement activities in Kansas. Any firm, organization, or governmental body that performs asbestos abatement must hold a valid license from KDHE.

- Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor Course (with annual refresher)
- Asbestos Inspector Course (with annual refresher)
- Training certificates must be signed by a U.S. EPA-trained instructor
Project Notification
Abatement notifications must be submitted to KDHE at least 10 working days before abatement begins. A nonrefundable project fee of 1% of the project cost or $50, whichever is greater, is due for each project.
Fees
