Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1101(o)(4)(i): For Class I and II asbestos work the competent person training was not obtained in a comprehensive course for supervisors that meets the criteria of EPA's Model Accredited Plan (40 CFR part 763, subpart E, Appendix C), such as a course conducted by an EPA-approved or state-approved training provider, certified by EPA or a state, or a course equivalent in stringency, content, and length: a) On or about June 7, 2017, at the above located worksite employees were required to remove 12 inch floor tiles and mastic that contained 0.4% to 6.0% asbestos (Class II asbestos work) in the main north-south corridor. The employer did not designate a competent person having training that met the criteria of EPA's Model Accredited Plan (40 CFR part 763, subpart E, Appendix C). The employees removing asbestos containing floor tile were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with airborne asbestos.
