Which of the following training disciplines is NOT included in the 5 AHERA training areas?

The training disciplines outlined by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) are specifically focused on areas that directly involve the management, inspection, and abatement of asbestos in educational settings. The five designated areas of training include:

1. Worker - for those involved in the handling and removal of asbestos.

2. Manager/Planner - for individuals responsible for developing management plans and overseeing compliance.

3. Building Inspector - for professionals who assess buildings for asbestos presence.

The option referring to an "Owner," while significant in the context of asbestos management—especially concerning responsibilities regarding safety and compliance—does not fit into the categories for which AHERA mandates specific training. Owners tend to have overarching responsibilities but are not categorized into the specialized training disciplines defined by AHERA, which are more operationally focused on workers and planners dealing directly with asbestos issues.

This distinction clarifies why identifying "Owner" as not being included in the specified AHERA training areas is accurate. The emphasis is on those who actively participate in, manage, or evaluate asbestos conditions, rather than property ownership and general oversight responsibilities.
