NY Lab L § 900 (2021)
2021 New York Laws LAB - Labor Article 30 - Asbestos or Products Containing Asbestos; Licensing 900 - Legislative Findings and Declaration.

§  900.  Legislative  findings and declaration. The legislature hereby   finds  and  declares  that  exposure  to  asbestos   fibers,   a   known   carcinogenic  agent,  creates  a  serious  risk to the public health and   safety. The legislature also finds that the public  is  more  frequently   exposed  to  these  risks  as  a  result  of  an  increasing  number  of   rehabilitation  and  reconstruction  projects  on  buildings  containing   asbestos or asbestos materials.The  legislature  finds  that  the  risks associated with asbestos are   exacerbated  by  the  improper  and  uninformed  manner  in  which  some   contractors  and  their  employees  handle  asbestos.   Improper design,   implementation or inspection of asbestos  projects  creates  unnecessary   health and safety hazards which are detrimental to the state's interest,   and that of its citizens.The  legislature,  therefore,  finds and declares it to be its purpose   and policy to reduce asbestos  related  hazards  by  encouraging  proper   training  of  persons  employed to design, implement or inspect asbestos   projects and those who  supervise  or  employ  them,  by  requiring  the   licensing  of  contractors and the certification of individuals involved   in  asbestos  projects  pursuant  to  regulations  promulgated  by   the   commissioner,   prior   to  the  removal,  enclosure,  encapsulation  or   disturbance of friable asbestos or any  handling  of  asbestos  material   which may result in the release of asbestos fiber and by conferring upon   the  commissioner the authority to inspect ongoing asbestos projects and   promulgate and  enforce  safety  and  health  standards  regulating  the   conduct  of  those  projects  through injunctions, and the imposition of   civil and criminal penalties.

§  902.  Licensing  and  certification  requirements.  1.  It shall be   unlawful for any contractor to engage in an asbestos project unless such   contractor  has  a  valid  asbestos  handling  license  issued  by   the   commissioner.  Such  license  will  not  be  issued  without evidence of   successful completion by the contractor, or a supervisor  designated  to   act  as  the  contractor's agent, of an approved asbestos safety program   which is, at the least, equivalent to the U.S. Environmental  Protection   Agency  Model Accreditation Plan (40 CFR Part 763) and the submission of   any additional information which the commissioner may require.2. A copy of a valid asbestos handling license or other proof  of  the   issuance  of a valid asbestos handling license granted to the contractor   who will be undertaking the asbestos project must be  submitted  by  the   bidder  in  a  form acceptable to the commissioner prior to the award of   any public works contract all or part  of  which  involves  an  asbestos   project.3.  A  copy of a valid asbestos handling license must be conspicuously   displayed at the work site on an asbestos project.4. It shall be unlawful for any contractor to engage in or to permit a   person  employed  by  the  contractor,  including  but  not  limited  to   handlers,  project  designers,  inspectors  and  management planners, to   engage in work on an asbestos project or to supervise  persons  engaging   in  work  on  an asbestos project unless each such person and supervisor   has a valid asbestos handling certificate. Such certificate will not  be   issued  without evidence of successful completion by each such person of   an approved asbestos safety program and the submission of any additional   information which the commissioner may require.5. Any person employed on an asbestos project or the supervisor of any   person engaged in work on an asbestos project or any other person who is   otherwise required by law or regulation to obtain an asbestos  handler's   certificate  shall have in his or her possession at all times during the   work on the project a copy of the asbestos handling  certificate  issued   to the person by the commissioner.
