ORS 283.415
Legislative findings

  • policy

The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that:

(1)

Asbestos has been found to be a human carcinogen. There is no known safe level for human exposure to asbestos. Ailments caused by asbestos can become manifest many years after exposure.

(2)

In a decayed or damaged state, asbestos can pose a health risk to employees, adults in custody, patients or residents of state institutions. This state does not know where asbestos-containing materials exist in its buildings nor in what condition those materials are to be found.

(3)

It is the goal of the Legislative Assembly to assure that state facilities are safely maintained and operated. It is, therefore, the policy of the Legislative Assembly that:

(a)

A Master Asbestos Management Plan be developed that will assure orderly well-reasoned asbestos control and abatement.

(b)

As any conditions of immediate hazard to health become known, they be acted on promptly in accordance with the Master Asbestos Management Plan.

(c)

The plan include standards for employee awareness and training.

(d)

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services be the agency to develop and centrally manage the plan for this state.

(e)

Each agency cooperate fully in carrying out the plan.

(f)

The State of Oregon engage in a long-term commitment to control the asbestos hazard in state facilities through control and abatement. [1989 c.1037 §1; 2019 c.213 §128]
