According to IICRC 520, when is a building owner responsible for asbestos-containing material during remediation?

Only when built before 1978
Only if the consultant identifies it
It's the remediation contractor's responsibility
Always

The correct answer is: Always

In the context of IICRC 520, a building owner holds ongoing responsibility for asbestos-containing material (ACM) during any remediation efforts. This means that regardless of the age of the building, its construction date, or the findings of a consultant, the owner is ultimately accountable for managing the risks associated with ACM. This responsibility entails ensuring that proper assessments, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance are adhered to throughout the remediation process. The obligation arises because the building owner is in a position to control access to the property, make informed decisions about remediation, and ensure that trained professionals handle the hazardous materials appropriately. While the identification of ACM by a consultant can influence the specific actions taken during remediation, the overarching responsibility remains with the owner. It is essential for the owner to be proactive in addressing any risks associated with ACM to safeguard the health and safety of occupants and to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
