The Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS) has issued a revised final version of 454 CMR 28.00: The Removal, Containment, Maintenance, or Encapsulation of Asbestos, and will hold a second live video/telephone access public hearing on February 4, 2021 at 1:00 PM. 

This notice of public hearing provides more detailed information including the Webex link for connecting to the hearing and details about how to submit written comments.  All written testimony must be received by Monday, February 8, 2021 at 5:00 PM. 

A redline version of the revised final regulations can be downloaded here.

The LSPA's Regulations Committee is reviewing these regulations on a quick turnaround, and comparing them to the comments previously submitted by the LSPA in October 2020.  
 
If you have comments to contribute, please send them to [email protected] by no later than 5:00 PM Tuesday, February 2, 2021.  We suggest that you also submit your comments to DLS separately since we cannot guarantee that they will be included in the LSPA's submittal.
 
Thank you.
