Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Notifications

Asbestos management plans outline how a facility will monitor, and safely manage any identified asbestos‑containing materials within the facility to prevent harmful fiber release. They also document required inspections, response actions, and ongoing procedures that support long‑term exposure prevention.

Demolition and renovation activities involving asbestos must follow strict procedures to prevent the release of hazardous fibers into the air, protecting workers and surrounding communities. These projects require proper inspections, notifications, and control measures to ensure safe material handling throughout the process.

The Lead-Based Paint Activities Program specifically involves abatement, which refers to any measure or set of measures designed to permanently eliminate known lead-based paint hazards in paint, dust and/or soil. Abatement is generally performed when lead-based paint hazards are found during an inspection of a child occupied facility, when a child is found to have an elevated blood lead level, and in housing receiving HUD financial assistance. Abatement can include removing paint and/or dust, permanently enclosing or encapsulating lead-based paint on surfaces or fixtures, replacing painted surfaces or fixtures, and/or removing or permanently covering soil.

The Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Program covers any activity that disturbs paint such as remodeling and repair/maintenance, electrical work, plumbing, painting preparation, carpentry, window replacement, etc. The program is designed to prevent the introduction of new lead hazards created by a renovation or repair, not to address existing lead hazards.
