Disturbing asbestos materials during construction is a serious hazard that all contractors may encounter. Because of the insidious nature of the material as a health hazard, EPA regulations require that even when a structure is to be completely demolished, asbestos (and all other hazardous materials) must be removed by a qualified contractor prior to general demolition. A construction contractor contemplating abatement work needs to ascertain regulatory applicability under one of the following: OSHA-approved state program, Federal OSHA regulations (applicable to the private sector and certain federal employees) or OSHA-approved. Construction Worksite Compliance Guide to Asbestos provides the contractors, building owners and inspectors with the current best management practices for asbestos removal and disposal methods. Packed with checklist, tables and "quick lookup" materials, this manual provides a step by step approach for identifying asbestos, complying with OSHA and EPA regulations as well as the safe disposal of asbestos. - Ascertain the presence of asbestos through testing - Prepare the abatement plan - Submit the plan to the state, EPA or local municipality having jurisdiction - Proper Waste Disposal techniques - Scope of work

This book replaces most earlier HSE guidance on liscensed asbestos removal work. It is aimed at businesses holding a alicence to work with asbestos, either repairing or removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), supervising such work, holding an ancillary license or providing training on asbestos. Employers who carry out work with asbestos insulation, aasbestos insulating board using their own employees on their premises, who are exempted from the requirement to hold a licence, also need this guidance. The guidance is split into eight chapters, covering different aspects of licensed work with ACM's. It provides an overview of asbestos and its health effects, the law and how to work safely with asbestos.
