§ 6-402. Legislative policy.
The General Assembly finds:
(1) That exposure to asbestos, a known carcinogenic agent, creates a significant hazard to the health of the people of this State;
(2) That projects to remove asbestos expose increasing numbers of asbestos removers to this hazard; and
(3) That it is in the public interest to protect asbestos removers from this hazard by requiring adherence to strict safety standards on asbestos removal projects.
