A contractor with employees plans to perform asbestos abatement work. Before doing so, the contractor must be:
Explanation
A contractor engaging in asbestos-related work involving 100 square feet or more of surface area must be registered with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health under Labor Code section 6501.5, and separately certified by the Contractors State License Board under Business and Professions Code section 7058.5. Option (d) is the near miss: the C-22 Asbestos Abatement classification exists, and holding it does not supply the DOSH registration, which is what the question asks about. The air quality district (c) does require notification before most asbestos demolition and renovation, but that is an environmental filing administered locally under the federal NESHAP programme, not a worker-protection registration. Option (a) is invented: no special bond attaches to asbestos work.
