Asbestos Removal: Work Area Activities

This information, courtesy of the City of New York, details the specified rules on how a work area should be prepared before asbestos removal activities can commence. If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, complete the form below to have your potential case evaluated by our law firm.

Work place preparation activities are to be performed in the order specified in §1-81 of the Rules.

Therefore, activities inside the work area (except those required to be performed pursuant to §1-81(c) involving shut down and lock out of electrical power) may not be commenced until the worker decontamination enclosure system is installed and functional.

Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
