Asbestos Legal Matters
After a long struggle in the asbestos legal arena, asbestos legal measures resulted in the 1989 partial ban on the manufacture of, processing, or distribution of the majority of asbestos-containing products. This ban is still in effect.
The December 2020 final TSCA risk evaluation for chrysotile asbestos identified excessive health risks for humans for all uses that continue to use chrysotile asbestos. The April 2019 rule bans the return of asbestos products to the marketplace.
Legislation
Asbestos laws are enforced both at the federal and state levels in the United States. The US makes use of asbestos in a range of products even though many industrialized countries have banned it. The federal government regulates the way it is used in different products and the law also regulates asbestos litigation and abatement. While the federal laws generally are consistent throughout the country the state asbestos laws differ by jurisdiction. These laws usually limit claims from those who have suffered exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos occurs naturally. It is extracted from underground, typically using open-pit mining techniques. It is made up of fibrous strands. These strands are processed and combined with cement or another binding agent to form asbestos-containing material (ACM). These ACMs can be used in many applications including floor tiles roofing, roofs, clutch facings, and shingles. In addition to its use for construction materials, asbestos is present in many other products, such as batteries gaskets, fireproof clothing and gaskets.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) however, has strict regulations on how asbestos can be used at schools and in homes. The EPA requires schools to conduct an inspection of their facilities and devise plans for monitoring, containing and identifying asbestos-containing materials. The EPA also requires that people who work with asbestos must be accredited and certified.
The EPA's 1989 Asbestos Ban and Phase-Out Rule was formulated to put an absolute ban on manufacturing, import processing and distribution of asbestos-related products in the US. However, the rule was repealed in 1991. The EPA recently began reviewing potentially harmful chemicals and asbestos was included on its list.
While the EPA has strict guidelines on how asbestos is handled but it is important to know that asbestos is still present in many structures and that people are at risk of being exposed to asbestos. You should always check the condition of all asbestos-containing materials. If you're planning on any major work that could result in the destruction of these materials in the coming years you should seek out an asbestos consultant to assist you in planning your renovation and take the necessary precautions to safeguard yourself and your family.
Regulations
In the United States asbestos is regulated both by state and federal laws. It is restricted in certain products, but it is still used in other, less hazardous applications. However, it's a known carcinogen that can cause cancer if inhaled. The asbestos industry is governed by strict regulations, and businesses are required to comply with them to work there. The transportation and disposal of asbestos-containing wastes is also regulated by the government.
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations of 1987 introduced the legal requirements to stop workers from being exposed to asbestos at the workplace. The regulations apply to anyone who is exposed to asbestos and require employers to take steps to limit exposure or reduce it to the lowest practicable level. They must also provide training and records of face-fit tests, air monitoring and medical examinations.
Asbestos is a specialized material that requires specialist knowledge and equipment. Any work that is likely to be contaminated by asbestos-containing materials licensed asbestos removal contractor is required. The regulations require that the contractor inform the authorities that enforce the law of any asbestos-related activity and submit an analysis of the risk associated with every asbestos removal project. They must also establish an area for decontamination and provide workers with protective clothing and equipment.
After the work is finished the certified inspector should inspect the area and verify that no asbestos fibers have escaped into the air. The inspector must also confirm that the sealant has effectively "locked down" any remaining asbestos. An air sample should be taken after the inspection and, if the sample shows an asbestos concentration higher than required, the area must be re-cleaned.
New Jersey regulates the transport and disposal of asbestos, and the Department of Environmental Protection monitors it. Before commencing work, any company planning to dispose of asbestos containing waste is required to obtain a permit from New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection. Contractors, professional service providers and asbestos abatement specialists are all included. The permit must include an explanation of where the asbestos will be disposed of, as well as the method by which it will transported and stored.
Abatement
Asbestos naturally occurs. It was extensively employed as a product for fireproofing in the early 1900s because of its fire-repellent qualities. It was also strong and cost-effective. Unfortunately, it is now understood that asbestos can cause serious health problems which include mesothelioma, lung disease, and cancer. Asbestos victims may be eligible for compensation from asbestos trust fund and other sources of financial aid.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has strict guidelines for handling asbestos. Workers must use specific protective equipment and follow protocols to minimize exposure. The agency also requires employers to maintain abatement reports.
Certain states have laws regarding asbestos abatement. New York, for example is prohibited from building asbestos-containing buildings. The law also mandates that asbestos-related removal be done by certified contractors. Contractors working on asbestos-containing structures need to be licensed and inform the government.
People who work on asbestos-containing buildings must complete specialized training. The EPA requires that anyone who plans to work on an asbestos-containing building (ACM) notify the EPA at minimum 90 days prior to the start of the project. The EPA will then review the project and may limit or prohibit the use of asbestos.
Asbestos is present in floor tiles, roofing shingles, exterior siding, cement, and brakes for cars. These products may release fibers once the ACM has been agitated or removed. Inhalation poses a risk because the fibers can't be seen by the naked eye. Non-friable ACM such as the encapsulated flooring and drywall cannot release fibers.
A licensed contractor who plans to undertake abatement work on a structure has to obtain a permit through the Iowa Division of Labor. The contractor must also inform Iowa OSHA and the Department of Natural Resources. The annual and the initial notifications will require an amount. Additionally those who plan to work on an educational institution must provide the EPA with abatement plans and training for employees. New Jersey requires all abatement companies to have a license issued by the Department of Labor and Workplace Development and all employees to hold worker or supervisor permits.
Litigation
In the latter part of the 1970s and early 1980s, asbestos cases flooded federal and state courts. The majority of these cases were filed by employees who suffered respiratory ailments caused by asbestos exposure. A lot of these diseases are now being diagnosed as mesothelioma and various cancers. These cases have led a number of states to adopt laws to limit the number of asbestos lawsuits that can be filed in their courts.
These laws establish guidelines for identifying asbestos products and employers in a plaintiff’s case. The laws also define procedures to obtain records of medical treatment and other evidence. The law also sets out guidelines for how attorneys have to deal with asbestos cases. These guidelines are designed to protect lawyers from being swindled by untrustworthy companies.
Asbestos lawsuits could involve dozens or hundreds of defendants as asbestos victims could have been exposed to more than one company. It can be expensive and difficult to determine which company is accountable. The process involves interviewing family members, employees and abatement personnel to identify possible defendants. It is also essential to compile a database containing the names of companies and their subsidiaries, suppliers and the locations where asbestos was used or handled.
The majority of asbestos litigation in New York involves claims related to mesothelioma and various other diseases caused by exposure to asbestos. A large portion of the litigation involves claims against companies that mined asbestos, as well as those that manufactured or sold building materials, including insulation, that included asbestos. These businesses can be sued for damages by people who were exposed in their homes, schools or other public structures.
Trust funds were created to pay for the expenses of asbestos lawsuits. These funds have been a major source of income for people suffering from asbestos-related diseases like asbestosis and mesothelioma.
Since mesothelioma and other related diseases are caused by exposure to tiny asbestos particles, the acts or omissions that are alleged in every asbestos case typically took place years before the case was filed. Corporate representatives are typically limited in their ability to verify or deny the claims of plaintiffs due to the fact that they have only a limited amount of information at their disposal.
