Enforcement If you are interested in the enforcement history of an asbestos
contractor, please contact
the Asbestos Unit for information. On this page:
Minnesota Rules, part 4620.3570, subpart 4, item C requires the that the negative pressure within the containment be recorded by a recording manometer. The intent of this rule is that the contractor starts the project with a fully functioning recording manometer. Not one that is out of ink or recording tape or both. The hand recording of the negative pressure measurements is allowed only if the manometer malfunctions while on site, not if it is brought to the job site in a malfunctioning state. Minnesota Rules, part 4620.3575, subpart 1, item B requires that ALL asbestos be cleaned from the work area. Not some asbestos, or most asbestos, but all asbestos.
Minnesota Rules, part 4620.3582, subpart 3, item C requires that facility components be wrapped in two layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting, not a few pieces of duct tape here and there.. Minnesota Rules, part 4620.3582, subpart 3, item D requires that facility components be wrapped in two layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting must be sealed to form an air tight seal. A major problem MDH is seeing is properly wrapped pipes being thrown into trucks or dumpsters and then having the seal broken by protruding cut-offs.
