What does OAC Chapter 3745-22 cover?
The rules in Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-22 establish Ohio's licensing, certification and approval requirements for business entities and individuals that are performing activities related to asbestos including contractors, training providers, supervisors, workers, inspectors and project designers.
What changes are being considered?
Ohio EPA will be changing the rules to reflect changes in ORC 3710. The most significant change being an asbestos hazard abatement activity will be defined as 3 linear feet or 3 square feet of friable material as opposed to the current as 50 linear feet or 50 square feet of friable material. Other changes being considered are an exemption for roofing contractor using rotating blade cutters to remove built up asbestos containing roofing materials and deleting "the taking out of friable asbestos containing material from any site" from the definition of removal. More information can be found in the ESO fact sheet.
