NYSDOL Asbestos & Mold Control Bureau

This year Future Environment Designs  is working with PACNY to put together the Wednesday, February 26th, 2020, Proficiency Day.  We are working with the regulatory bodies to start the conference with a bang and get the professional development points for professional engineers/architects, which would also apply for the American Council for Accredited Certifications (ACAC) and the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH).  We are focusing on Asbestos Contamination Assessments – what is expected by the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) Engineering Department to approve a Site-Specific Variance and What NYSDOL Enforcement expects in the cleanup process?
