If your company comes across concrete/asbestos pipe or other material containing asbestos pipe or other material containing asbestos, you must include safety procedures for handling asbestos in your program.
  • Write a brief introduction
  • Allow only employees that are certified in asbestos removal to remove and dispose of asbestos
  • List your safety & health procedures to your employees when working with this material
  • Develop procedures for medical surveillance – a pre-medical examination may be required
  • Air monitoring for exposure to asbestos is required anytime your employees are working around or with this hazardous material.
  • Other safety concerns may have to be considered
Asbestos regulations are found in WAC 62.077-07761 Part II & WAC 29-155.175.193 Part B2
