Class I Asbestos Work - Employee

For employees performing Class I asbestos work involving more than 25 linear feet or 10 square feet of thermal system insulation or surfacing ACM or PACM, employers must create a decontamination area adjacent to and connected with the regulated area. Workers must enter and exit the regulated area through the decontamination area.

The decontamination area must include an equipment room, shower area, and clean room in series. A clean room is an uncontaminated room with storage for employees' street clothing and uncontaminated materials and equipment.
