Asbestos can typically be found in all buildings constructed before 1980. This webinar will highlight building materials that usually contain asbestos as a component, how it becomes airborne and whether or not it should be removed. Also discussed are the differences between the OSHA and the EPA’s asbestos regulations and how it pertains to municipalities. Also included is a review of the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing’s Asbestos webpage where you can find information about demolition or removal and a list of licensed contractors.
