No. In an OSHA letter of interpretation, the requirement at 29 CFR 1926.1101(k that bulk sampling must be done by an accredited inspector or a certified industrial hygienist (CIH) must be followed. An accredited inspector is a person who has completed at least a three-day initial training course as outlined by the EPA in 40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E, Appendix C at I. B. 3. and also receives the annual refresher training specified by the EPA in 40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E, Appendix C at I.D.
However, the actual sampling does not have to be done by the CIH, but may be conducted under the supervision of a CIH in the manner described in 40 CFR 763.86.
In regard to thermal system insulation (TSI), a visual determination that the TSI is fiberglass, foam glass, or rubber instead of asbestos containing material is permitted. Such a “visual determination” may be made only by a CIH or accredited inspector.
