What does Class IV Asbestos work specifically include?

Class IV Asbestos work includes the cleanup of dust, waste, and debris resulting from asbestos-related activities. This classification is focused on minimizing exposure and ensuring the safety of areas surrounding ongoing asbestos operations. It typically encompasses cleaning tasks rather than more intensive activities like removal or repair of asbestos materials.

In Class IV work, the technicians are responsible for ensuring that any residual asbestos materials, as well as the dust or debris created during the work process, are properly contained and removed to prevent contamination. This role is crucial because it helps maintain a safe working environment and protects public health from potential asbestos exposure.

Other classifications, like the removal of surfacing ACM, repairing thermal system insulation, and removal of non-friable ACM, involve more invasive and regulated activities that fall under different categories due to the higher risk associated with those tasks.
