How do you check asbestos and lead licenses in Ohio?

Use Ohio EPA’s asbestos map for contractor organizations and the Ohio Department of Health’s Environmental Licensing Search for lead professionals. The asbestos map offers organization and license filters; the separate lead search includes license type, license number and company name. Public-record research is an optional homeowner step.

Key facts

How do you search the asbestos map in Ohio?

Open the Ohio EPA asbestos map and use its organization or license filters, then update the list. The app’s help distinguishes filtering the map from refreshing the displayed list; a filter selection alone does not finish both actions.

Ohio EPA’s map help says: "If there is a specific organization, headquarters, state, license number, or license status that you are looking for, click the down arrow to see the available options."

Source: Ohio EPA asbestos map, filters and help, read 6 November 2026.

The same help continues: "Then make the selection you want. The more of these filters you use, the more likely you will be able to find what you are looking for from the map. This will filter the map only. To see a list, you will still have to hit the update results button."

For the status label, the map help publishes: "Expired: Certification is no longer active." Read the status exactly as the record shows it; the map’s terminology is not a recommendation about work quality.

For an asbestos environmental concern, Ohio EPA’s public complaint form includes this explanation: "Ohio EPA's online form allows users to submit environmental complaints regarding issues such as: Air Quality/Asbestos/Odor/Open Burning; Water Quality - Lakes, Rivers, Streams/Stormwater/Sewage Odor; Open Dumping/Solid Waste/Landfill Odors; Drinking Water; Hazardous Waste/Used Oil."

After your optional Ohio EPA map research, describe the asbestos work and its location in your written request on InstaBids.

How do you search for lead professionals in Ohio?

Use the Ohio Department of Health lead search for lead professionals. Select the relevant license type and use the license number, person-name or company-name fields shown on the empty form. The search is separate from Ohio EPA’s asbestos map.

Source: Ohio Department of Health Environmental Licensing Search, read 6 November 2026.

The form describes its service-provider category as: "Individuals and contractors that provide testing, inspections, and/or lead abatement services."

Source: Ohio Department of Health Environmental Licensing Search, read 6 November 2026.

The License Type menu separates lead abatement contractor, worker, clearance technician, inspector, project designer and risk assessor. The form also offers Company Name and Only Active Licenses controls; read the record’s status as displayed rather than substituting a status from the asbestos map.

Use the lead search’s License Type field as your optional research reference when describing the requested lead work on InstaBids.

Which lead work calls for a license in Ohio?

The Ohio Department of Health FAQ answers the licensing-scope question: "Licenses are required for any person who performs a lead activity in a residential unit, childcare facility or school." The agency’s wording names residential units, childcare facilities and schools; the separate statutory excerpts below retain their own qualifications.

Source: Ohio Department of Health lead FAQ, December 2025, pages 8–9, read 6 November 2026.

Section 3742.02(B), in Ohio’s published Revised Code, reads: "(B) No person shall knowingly authorize or employ an individual to perform lead abatement on a residential unit, child care facility, or school unless the individual who will perform the lead abatement holds a valid license issued under section 3742.05 of the Revised Code."

Source: Ohio Revised Code, section 3742.02(B), read 6 November 2026.

For asbestos, section 3710.05(A) reads: "(A) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no person shall engage in any asbestos hazard abatement activities in this state unless licensed or certified pursuant to this chapter."

Source: Ohio Revised Code, section 3710.05(A), read 6 November 2026.

Keep the Health Department’s lead activity scope beside your optional research notes when you describe the property and intended work on InstaBids.

What is a lead activity?

The Ohio Department of Health FAQ describes a lead activity as: "Any aspect of a lead inspection, lead risk assessment, lead hazard screen risk assessment, clearance examination, lead abatement, or lead abatement project design." The agency’s list distinguishes inspection and assessment from abatement and project design.

Source: Ohio Department of Health lead FAQ, December 2025, pages 8–9, read 6 November 2026.

Name the inspection, assessment or abatement task from the Health Department’s activity list when preparing your written request on InstaBids.

How long is a lead license valid?

The Ohio Department of Health FAQ gives the lead license duration as: "A license is valid for two years from the date of issuance." The published answer uses the issuance date as its reference point; it does not establish any particular person’s current status.

Source: Ohio Department of Health lead FAQ, December 2025, pages 8–9, read 6 November 2026.

Keep the Health Department’s issuance-date wording in your optional research notes, then state the project’s proposed timing in your InstaBids request.
