HRP Associates, Inc

Asbestos

The OSHA Construction Industry and General Industry Standards (29 CFR 1926.1101 and 29 CFR 1910.1001, respectively) of 1995 present stringent requirements for all employers to prevent employee exposure to asbestos fibers in the workplace. These regulations cover all employees, including subcontractor and tenant employees, and make facility owners, operators, and managers culpable for failure to comply.

State regulations typically enforce the EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR 61, Subpart M) requirements and training requirements for persons who handle or disturb asbestos containing materials (ACMs) or presumed asbestos containing materials (PACMs).

Asbestos liability can include significant fines and/or imprisonment for violation of the statutes, and tort liability associated with employee exposures.
