Legislation
Asbestos laws are regulated both at the federal and state levels in the United States. While many industrialized countries have banned asbestos but the US continues to use it in a number of different products.

State asbestos laws can differ between states even though federal laws generally are uniform. These laws restrict the rights of those who have suffered injuries related to asbestos.
Asbestos is a natural mineral. It is mined from the ground using open-pit mining techniques and is composed of fibrous strands. These strands are processed and mixed with a binding agent such as cement to produce an asbestos-containing material, or ACM. These ACMs are used in many applications like floor tiles roofing, clutch facings, roofing, and shingles. In addition to its use in construction materials, asbestos can be found in a variety of other products, such as batteries, fireproof clothing and gaskets.

The EPA requires that schools examine their facilities, and develop plans to identify asbestos-containing materials. The EPA demands that all workers who work with asbestos must be certified and accredited.
The EPA's Asbestos Ban Phase-Out Rule of 1989 was created to prohibit the importation, manufacture, processing, and distribution of asbestos-related materials within the US. This was reversed in 1991. In addition the EPA has recently begun examining chemicals that could be dangerous and has included asbestos on its list of chemicals to be considered hazardous.

The asbestos industry is extremely regulated, and companies must adhere to all regulations to be allowed to work in the field. State regulations also regulate the disposal and transportation of waste containing asbestos.
The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations of 1987 introduced legal procedures to prevent workers from being exposed asbestos at work. The regulations are applicable to anyone who works with asbestos law and oblige employers to take measures to avoid exposure or reduce it to a minimal level. They must also provide training and records of face-fit tests or air monitoring as well as medical tests.
Asbestos is a complicated material that requires specialist knowledge and equipment. A licensed asbestos removal professional must be used for any project that may disturb the asbestos Compensation-containing material. The regulations require that the contractor notify the enforcing authority about any work involving asbestos and prepare a risk analysis for each asbestos removal project. They must also create a decontamination zone and provide workers with protective clothing and equipment.
When the work is complete the certified inspector should examine the site and make sure that there are no asbestos fibers escaping into the air. The inspector must also confirm that the sealant is "locking down" any asbestos. After the inspection, a sample of air should taken. If it is found that the asbestos concentration is higher than the required level, the area will need to be cleaned once more.
New Jersey regulates the transport and disposal of asbestos, and the Department of Environmental Protection monitors it. Any business planning to dispose of asbestos-containing waste must get a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection before starting work. This includes professional service companies and asbestos abatement technicians. The permit must contain a description of where the asbestos will be disposed of, as well as how it will be moved and stored.
Abatement
Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally. It was extensively employed as a product for fireproofing in the early 1900s due to its fireproofing qualities. It was also tough and cost-effective. Unfortunately, it is now recognized that asbestos can cause serious health problems, including lung disease, mesothelioma, and cancer. Asbestos-related victims could be eligible for compensation from the asbestos trust fund and other financial aid sources.
OSHA has strict regulations for asbestos handling. Workers require special protective gear and follow a set of procedures to reduce exposure to asbestos. The agency also requires employers to keep abatement reports.
Certain states have laws governing asbestos elimination. New York, for example prohibits the construction of asbestos-containing buildings. The law also requires asbestos-related abatement to be completed by certified contractors. Anyone who works on asbestos-containing structures must obtain permits and inform the state.
Workers who work on asbestos-containing building must also be certified in asbestos-related training. The EPA requires that anyone who plans to work on a building with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) inform the EPA at minimum 90 days prior the start of the project. The EPA will then review the project and could limit or ban the use asbestos.
Asbestos can be found in floor tiles, roofing shingles, exterior siding, automotive brakes, and cement. These products can release fibers into the air when the ACM is disturbed or removed. Inhaling them poses a threat because the fibers cannot be seen by the naked eye. Non-friable ACM like the encapsulated flooring and drywall do not release fibers.
To perform abatement works on a building, an authorized contractor must obtain a permit from the Iowa Division of Labor. The contractor must also notify Iowa OSHA as well as the Department of Natural Resources. The initial and annual notifications require a fee. In addition those who intend to work on schools must provide the EPA with abatement plans as well as training for employees. New Jersey requires that all abatement contractors have a license from the Department of Labor and Workplace Development and that their employees are issued workers or supervisory permits.
Litigation
Asbest cases flooded state courts as well as federal courts in the late 1970s and into the early 1980s. Most of these claims were filed by people who suffered respiratory ailments caused by exposure to asbestos. A lot of these ailments are now being diagnosed as mesothelioma and other cancers. The cases have led several states to adopt laws to limit the number of asbestos lawsuits that are filed in their courts.

Asbestos lawsuits can involve dozens of defendants, because asbestos victims may have been exposed to several companies. The process of determining which company is responsible for a victim's illness can be lengthy and costly. This involves speaking with employees, family members and abatement employees to determine possible defendants.
