February 24, 2025 - GOING LIVE

ONLINE ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF ASBESTOS ACCREDITATION APPLICATIONS FOR FIRMS, INDIVIDUALS, and TRAINING PROVIDERS.

Training Providers can also submit course notifications and student rosters online for approved courses.  

Drive to Paperless Submissions

Firms, training providers, and individuals will have another option for submitting applications for asbestos accreditation, course notifications, and student rosters. On February 24, 2025, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Toxic Substances Program will open the MyTDEC Forms online internet portal to receive asbestos accreditation applications for individuals, firms, training provider courses, and payments. Each accredited individual, firm, LEA agency, and training provider “MUST” register for themselves.

Training providers will use the online system to submit course notifications and student rosters as required by Rule 1200-01-20-02(16)(i) submit course notification 20 days before the commencement of the first day of instructional training; (ii) submit student roster no later than 10 days after the conclusion of the training course for all types of approved courses that were conducted.  

Another person cannot register for you due to federal identity compliance rules.

This new portal will allow the Tennessee program to (1) meet our paper reduction goals, (2) improve procedures to receive, validate, and approve asbestos applications, receive training course notifications and student rosters, (3) efficiently track workloads and (4) allow electronic of documents.
