Which regulation addresses AHERA requirements for schools?

• A. 29 CFR 1910.134
• B. 29 CFR 1910.1001
• C. 29 CFR 1929.1101
• D. 40 CFR 763

Answer: (D)

AHERA requirements for schools are addressed by the EPA rule 40 CFR 763. This regulation implements the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act and sets out what schools must do to manage asbestos-containing materials: conduct surveys and inventories, develop and maintain a management plan, perform periodic surveillance and re-inspections, take appropriate actions for asbestos found, train workers, and provide annual notices to parents and staff. Subpart E within 40 CFR 763 specifically targets schools, making this the provisions that apply to school settings. The other regulations listed govern asbestos in different workplace contexts or focus on respirator use, not the school-focused AHERA program.
