1. In an emergency that results from a sudden, unexpected event that is not a planned renovation or demolition, the director may waive the requirement for a permit.

2. If the business entity is not primarily engaged in the removal or encapsulation of asbestos, the director may waive the requirement for a permit if worker protection requirements are met.

3. The department shall not approve any waivers on work conducted at a school, public, or commercial building unless the request is accompanied by a recommendation from an asbestos project designer.
