Work Classifications
Class III asbestos work includes repair and maintenance operations where ACM or PACM are disturbed. The primary purpose of the work is not to remove or disturb asbestos, although some removal or disturbance may occur.
Asbestos Removal
Examples of Class III work include repairing broken pipes that have asbestos wrapping, installing floor anchors in an area with asbestos floor tile, or installing electrical conduit through walls with asbestos insulation.
Class IV operations include maintenance and custodial activities in which employees contact but do not disturb ACM. These activities must be related to the construction project or to Class I, II, or III activities. Custodial work that is not related to a construction project or Class I, II, or III work is covered by the asbestos general industry standard.
OSHA standards cover more specific requirements for regulated areas in general industry, construction, and shipyard operations. Be sure to reference OSHA standards for these requirements.
