Summary

Virginia Board for Asbestos, Lead, Mold, and Home Inspectors; examination; initial asbestos worker license applicants. Provides for the Board for Asbestos, Lead, Mold, and Home Inspectors to require initial applicants for an asbestos worker license to pass a Board-administered examination or an examination administered by a testing organization acting on behalf of the Board. The bill also requires employers to provide each licensed asbestos worker with a written notice containing the following information: (i) that the worker has the right to work in a safe environment, (ii) a summary of basic safety rules for handling asbestos, and (iii) information on how to file a complaint with the Board. In addition, the bill empowers the Board to summarily suspend the license of an asbestos contractor if the Board finds that the asbestos contractor's conduct poses a substantial danger to the public health or safety. The bill further authorizes the Board to suspend, revoke, or deny renewal of an existing license of any asbestos contractor who is shown to have a substantial identity of interest with an asbestos contractor whose license has been revoked.
