AHERA mandated the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop regulations setting forth a ‘comprehensive framework for responding to asbestos in schools. ‘This law was enacted due to the fact that asbestos, which is a fibrous, durable and noncombustible mineral, was found to be carcinogenic when inhaled or ingested. Up until approximately 1973, asbestos was commonly used in building materials such as vinyl floor tiles, thermal insulations and surfacing materials such as plaster and fire-proofing. If the asbestos containing building materials are in good condition and no asbestos fibers are being released to the air, ACBMs do not pose a health threat. However, any ACBM has the potential to become damaged or friable and therefore asbestos continues to be a matter of concen. The EPA promulgated the Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule (AHERA), 40 Code of Federal Rules Part 763, Sub-part E, in 1987. ‘The rule requires that all of the nation’s nonprofit elementary and secondary schools, both public and non-public, inspect their schoo! buildings for ACBM, develop an asbestos management plan for each school, notify parents and staff of the plan, and provide asbestos awareness training to school maintenance and custodial workers. The governing authority responsible for AHERA compliance is the Local Education Agency (LEA). ‘The LEA is required to appoint a “designated person" to be in charge of identifying and managing asbestos containing materials. The major responsibilities of the designated person are to oversee the development of a management plan for ACBMS in the schools under the authority of the LEA and to make sure that the plan is implemented according to the AHERA regulations, In New York State, asbestos management plan summaries (AHERA Form-5) are submitted to the New York State Education Department. AHERA LEA General Responsibilities: 1) Ensure that the activities of persons who perform asbestos inspections, re-inspections, periodic surveillance, assessments, develop and update management plans, and develop and implement response actions including operations and maintenance programs comply with the requirements of AHERA. 2) Ensure that all custodial and maintenance workers, regardless of their job duties are properly trained, and as needed, NYS DOL certified, to the level of work to be performed. 3) Ensure that workers and building occupants, including parents, teachers and staffare notified at least once each school year about activities related to ACBM. 4) Ensure that short-term workers, who are not employees of the school but who may come in
