(a) In an emergency that results from a sudden, unexpected event that is not a planned renovation or demolition, the secretary may waive the requirement for a license.

(b) The secretary may approve, on a case-by-case basis, an alternative to a required public health protection procedure for an asbestos project if the business entity or state or political or taxing subdivision of the state submits a written description of the alternative procedure to the secretary and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the secretary that the proposed alternative procedure provides equivalent protection.

(c) If a business entity or state or political or taxing subdivision of the state is not primarily engaged in the removal or encapsulation of asbestos, the secretary may waive the requirement for a license if public health protection requirements are met or an alternative procedure is approved under subsection (b).
