What is the focus of NYSDOL Phase 1a?

The focus of NYSDOL Phase 1a is on the survey, plan, and design components related to asbestos handling and abatement. This phase is essential because it involves conducting thorough assessments to identify the presence of asbestos in a given area. During this phase, professionals are trained to gather relevant data, analyze the risks associated with asbestos contamination, and develop a detailed plan for remediation that adheres to safety regulations.

This foundational step ensures that subsequent phases, such as air sampling and final cleaning, are built on a solid understanding of the situation at hand. By emphasizing survey, plan, and design, Phase 1a sets the groundwork for effective and safe asbestos abatement practices, thereby helping to protect worker health and safety throughout the entire process.
