declares that it is in the interest of the general public to control the exposure of the
general public to friable asbestos. It is the intent of the general assembly to ensure
the health, safety, and welfare of the public by regulating the practice of asbestos
abatement in locations to which the general public has access for the purpose of
ensuring that such abatement is performed in a manner that will minimize the risk
of release of asbestos. However, it is not the intent of the general assembly to
regulate occupational health practices that are regulated pursuant to federal laws.
