Overview

Virtually every facility does something that will require compliance with the state and/or federal asbestos regulations. For example, in New York merely drilling a hole into a wall may be all that is required to have an asbestos project subject to the State's Department of Labor regulations.

Asbestos-containing materials are subject to multiple regulatory programs, and our environmental attorneys can help you evaluate whether compliance with federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asbestos regulations is necessary, and also help you evaluate any state regulation of asbestos projects. These requirements are frequently overlooked, but we are ready to help you establish compliance programs to carry out asbestos projects, and to resolve difficulties that can arise when an asbestos project is mismanaged.
