Who is responsible for submitting an asbestos notification? Information for Ohio Contractors

This page includes information from the Ohio State Environmental Protection Agency for contractors regarding asbestos. Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.

Either the owner of the building or the demolition/renovation contractor can submit the notification. Usually, the two parties decide together who will notify.

Either one or both parties can be cited in violation if no or inadequate notification is provided.
