Asbestos

Prior to any renovation or dismantling within a public building, including preparations for partial or complete demolition, as required by 40 CFR, §61.145 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), owners must have the building surveyed by a licensed asbestos inspector; facility owners must have the facility surveyed by an accredited inspector if the facility is a public or commercial building as defined in the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act, 1990. The work area and all immediately surrounding areas must be surveyed prior to partial renovations or demolition. This survey must be produced upon request by the Texas Department of Health.

Quoted from Texas Civil Statutes Article 4477-3a §295.39(c)

Third-party area monitoring and project clearance monitoring for airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers during an abatement project shall be performed by a person under contract to the building owner to collect samples by and for the owner of the public building or facility being abated. Such persons must not be employed or subcontracted by the contractor hired to conduct the asbestos abatement project.

Quoted from Texas Civil Statutes Article 4477-3a §295.37(a)
