Laundering of Contaminated Clothing

Employers must ensure that the laundering of contaminated clothing does not release airborne asbestos in excess of the PEL or STEL. Employers who give contaminated clothing to other persons for laundering must inform them of the requirement to follow procedures that do not release airborne asbestos in excess of the PEL or STEL.

Employers must transport contaminated clothing in sealed, impermeable bags or other closed impermeable containers bearing appropriate labels (see the hazard communication section elsewhere in this publication for label requirements).

The competent person must examine employee work-suits at least once per work shift for rips or tears. Rips or tears found while an employee is working must be mended or the work-suit replaced immediately.
