AHERA Compliance Services (Schools K-12)

​At Stockton Environmental, Inc., we know that maintaining a safe school environment starts with regulatory compliance. The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires all K–12 schools to inspect for asbestos-containing building materials (ACBMs), develop and manage an asbestos management plan, and conduct ongoing surveillance to protect students, staff, and visitors.

Staying compliant not only supports a healthier learning environment—it also reduces liability through proactive, documented asbestos management.

  Full-building inspections and comprehensive re-inspections every three years, as required by AHERA.
