According to OSHA, this type of work must be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine whether it is covered by the construction asbestos standard (1926.1101).
If the task is difficult or complex enough to require that construction workers, maintenance persons, or repair persons perform the work, then the work is Class III work covered by the construction asbestos standard. Regardless of exposure levels, regulated areas must be established wherever Class III asbestos work is conducted.
