Regulations

What this collection covers

Asbestos, lead, and radon are governed by a mix of federal and state rules. These rules determine when testing is required, who may perform the work, and how materials must be handled. Key frameworks include EPA's NESHAP and AHERA for asbestos, the RRP Rule and disclosure requirements for lead, OSHA standards protecting workers, and EPA action levels for radon.

This section explains what the requirements mean in practice, from pre-renovation testing obligations to the recordkeeping and clearance steps that follow abatement. It is plain-language orientation, not legal advice, and reflects the rules property owners and managers encounter most often.
