Building renovations, demolitions and training fires are potentially subject to asbestos release prevention efforts. Often these rules require a thorough inspection and lab analysis of suspect asbestos containing material, notification to the DNR and in some cases, proper removal and disposal.

Any business or individual compensated to remove asbestos containing materials is required by the Iowa Division of Labor to obtain a certified asbestos contractor permit. Call 515-281-6175 for details or visit http://www.iowaworkforce.org/labor/asbestos.htm.
