When asbestos work involves 100 square feet or more, who must be notified?

Registrar of contractors
Fed/OSHA
EPA
OSHA

The correct answer is: OSHA

When asbestos work involves 100 square feet or more, notification to OSHA is essential because OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulates workplace safety, including the handling of hazardous materials such as asbestos. OSHA requires that employers notify them when they are undertaking certain asbestos-related work to ensure that safety measures are in place to protect both the workers and the environment. This notification process allows OSHA to monitor the work being performed and ensure compliance with safety standards designed to minimize the risk of asbestos exposure. It is crucial for maintaining workplace safety and protecting the health of employees and the public. Awareness of the scope of asbestos work is vital for risk assessment and implementing necessary safety protocols. Other entities, such as the EPA, do have regulations concerning asbestos, particularly concerning public health and environmental impact, but they are not specifically focused on workplace safety notifications. The Registrar of Contractors is involved more in licensing and registration rather than safety notifications regarding hazardous materials, and while Fed/OSHA refers to federal regulations related to worker safety, the standard practice requires direct notification to OSHA when the specific thresholds are met.
