Today’s Challenge: Managing asbestos, lead, indoor-air-quality problems and abatement activates is a difficult task. Building owners and managers have numerous notification requirements. Under OSHA regulations, building owners and managers are required to provide tenants, contractors and maintenance personnel with proper notification regarding the location of asbestos containing material in the building. The EPA has enacted numerous regulations designed to protect children from exposure to lead. Many indoor air quality issues can be avoid through proper periodic inspections and preventative maintenance activities.
