Asbestos is present in thousands of building materials.  It is one of the most heavily regulated hazardous substances and was among the first air pollutants controlled under the U.S. Clean Air Act.  This course should take 2 Hours and is compliant with standards related to the OSHA 2 Hour Asbestos Refresher Course.

This course provides students with an in-depth study of different structural building components, their correct assembly, and the relationship between the systems and the intended use of the structure.

RIA’s Project Management Course brings a restoration professional through the full life cycle and flow of a project; from when the phone rings to cashing the check. This course centers around the framework of project management but relates the information back to the industry in a very relevant way that would benefit any project manager. 13 CEs available for completion.

Historically, restorers have struggled to come to an agreement with carriers and adjusters on what is and is not included within the line items regarding final cleaning. Hear from AGA Committee member Kurt Fairless with ATI as he shows you what final cleaning looks like today in Xactimate.

The RIA sees widespread ignorance of the law of assignments and underutilization of assignments as a significant threat to the health of the restoration industry and the availability of high-quality restoration services to consumers. Accordingly, the RIA has compiled this collection of excerpts of cases and statutes that address certain aspects of the enforceability of assignments for each state, and insurance bad faith. It is not a complete statement of the relevant law, and as laws change, the legal principles may be reversed or become outdated. However, this material will provide a good starting point for restorers, working closely with their lawyers, to formulate an assignment strategy that fits their businesses.

This session focuses on the 50-State Summary of Assignment of Benefits Laws.
