LA Rev Stat § 30:2342 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 30 - Minerals, Oil, and Gas and Environmental Quality|§2342. Findings and declaration of policy

RS 2342 - Findings and declaration of policy  A. The legislature finds and declares that:  (1) Asbestos-containing materials were used in elementary and secondary schools within the state for fireproofing, soundproofing, thermal insulation, decorative, and other purposes.  (2) Asbestos and asbestiform materials are potentially hazardous to the public health.  (3) Asbestos-containing materials in a friable condition can cause building airborne exposures to far exceed background ambient levels and then pose a potential health hazard.  (4) In view of the fact that the state of Louisiana has compulsory attendance laws for children of school age and these children must be educated in a safe and healthy environment, the presence and condition of friable asbestos-containing materials is of concern to the legislature.  B. Therefore, the legislature enacts this Chapter to provide for the identification and abatement of those friable-containing materials in schools that may pose an unreasonable risk to students and school personnel.  Acts 1985, No. 394, §1, eff. July 10, 1985.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 30 - Minerals, Oil, and Gas and Environmental Quality|§2351. Findings and purpose

RS 2351 - Findings and purpose A. The legislature finds that lead poisoning is a significant health hazard to the citizens of the state. Lead poisoning particularly is a hazard to children, who typically are exposed to lead through environmental sources such as lead-based paint in housing and lead-contaminated dust and soil. It is the policy of the state to protect the health and welfare of its citizens through reduction of lead in the environment. B. The legislature further finds that improper abatement of lead hazards within the state constitutes a serious threat to the public health and safety and to the environment. C. The legislature further finds that the handling of lead-containing substances by inadequately trained employers, employees, and other persons subjects the citizens of the state to the risk of further release of lead into the environment. D. The legislature therefore finds that the public health and safety, as well as the environmental concerns of the state, best will be protected when all employers and employees who handle lead-containing substances are thoroughly trained and knowledgeable with regard to safe methods of handling and disposing of such materials. E. The legislature further finds that it is the policy of this state to encourage public awareness of the hazards associated with lead in the environment and to increase public awareness of state and federal regulations designed to correct hazardous conditions caused by lead. F. The legislature further finds that the health and safety of the citizens of this state are promoted by encouraging citizens and employees engaged in lead-abatement activities to notify appropriate state authorities of any violations of laws, regulations, guidelines, or generally accepted procedures relating to safe handling of lead-containing substances. G. The legislature therefore finds that it is the policy of this state to facilitate the confidential reporting to the government of hazards involving improper handling of lead-containing substances, and further to protect from reprisals those employees who report such hazards to state officials.
