As supervisor of the entire project, the general contractor shall ascertain whether the asbestos contractor is in compliance with this standard, and shall require such contractor to come into compliance with this standard when necessary. a. On or about March 25, 2014, at the above addressed jobsite, employees and subcontractor employees were exposed to thermal system insulation containing 10-70% chrysotile asbestos and/or PACM during construction activities.
