Asbestos Program
Asbestos Program
The MIOSHA Asbestos Program was initiated in September of 1986. The primary function of the program is to assure that the people working with asbestos are properly trained and the individuals performing asbestos removal comply with rules governing the work activity. These rules are designed to protect not only the individual employee performing asbestos abatement work, but also the general public that occupy the area or building in which the work occurs.
The Asbestos Program is responsible for enforcement of the Asbestos Abatement Contractors Licensing Act (Act 135, P.A. 1986, as amended), the Asbestos Workers Accreditation Act (Act 440, P.A. 1988, as amended), and for meeting the state of Michigan's mandated responsibilities under the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The program also enforces asbestos issues related to the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) (Act 154, P.A. 1974, as amended).
Fund Sources
Fund sources are from fees submitted for the approval of asbestos training courses, asbestos worker accreditation fees, asbestos contractor licensing fees, and asbestos abatement project notification fees.
Coming in 2026: New Asbestos Management Information System (AMIS) for Asbestos Accreditation, Licensing, and Project Notifications
AMIS 2.0 is going digital: Online payments, 24/7 access, email notifications, and more – from the MIOSHA Asbestos Program
There’s nothing you need to do right now — but here’s what to expect in early 2026.
The upgraded AMIS system (AMIS 2.0) will streamline how individuals and companies manage applications, licenses, training, project notifications and more.
There will be no new or increased fees associated with this upgrade.
What's new in AMIS 2.0:
- 24/7 online access for individuals and companies
- Online payment options, including e-check and credit card
- Electronic notifications for renewals and project fee reminders
- Ability to upload required documents directly
- Access to previous accreditation, licensing, notification and training records
What's changing:
- Every account — individual or organization — must have a unique email address due to MiLogin access requirements.
- Accredited individuals will be required to use a personal physical address as their primary address. Employer or organizational addresses can still be used as a mailing address.
- Primary communication for renewals and notifications will be sent by email, not U.S. Mail.
- Accredited individuals may authorize a proxy to submit and pay on their behalf. Proxies must be reauthorized each year.
- Notifications of asbestos abatement projects will be done directly to MIOSHA, no longer accomplished via other state agencies. You will still be required to notify the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) in addition to MIOSHA for some projects.
More information will be shared as the launch date approaches.
