Program Ownership
The purpose of this program is to ensure that worker exposure to asbestos remains below the permissible exposure limit (PEL) and that asbestos containing material (ACM) is properly handled and disposed of.
It covers all work potentially involving ACM, from asbestos removal to cleaning flooring and replacing brake pads.
It applies to workers performing asbestos work, supervisors, asbestos abatement subcontractors, area and building managers, field constuction managers, the asbestos program manager, Waste Management, and the Building Inspection Office.
