New Jersey asbestos rules in brief
- Who runs the program: The NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development licenses asbestos contractors and issues worker permits under the Asbestos Control and Licensing Act; the Department of Community Affairs enforces the Asbestos Hazard Abatement Subcode in educational facilities and public buildings. (N.J.A.C. 5:23-8; N.J.S.A. 34:5A-32 et seq.; N.J.A.C. 12:120) source
- Licensing: New Jersey requires employers who remove, enclose, encapsulate or apply asbestos to hold a license from the Commissioner of Labor, and each employee doing that work to hold a performance permit. There are limited exceptions, including private employers covered by federal OSHA who use their own employees in their own facility, small repairs or removals of 3 linear feet or 3 square feet or less, and roofing and exterior siding work outside demolition projects. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-36; N.J.S.A. 34:5A-37) source
- Notice before work: Licensed asbestos contractors who contract to do asbestos work in New Jersey must submit a written notification of intent at least 10 calendar days before starting the work. The notification informs the Departments of Labor and Workforce Development and Health. (N.J.A.C. 12:120-7.2) source
