Who is responsible for notifying the building owner of project manager requirements?

The General Abatement Contractor (GAC) is responsible for notifying the building owner of project manager requirements. This role is crucial because the GAC is typically in charge of overseeing the entire abatement project, including ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met and that appropriate personnel, such as the project manager, are designated and aware of their responsibilities.

The responsibilities of the GAC include not only the physical aspects of the abatement work but also administrative duties, such as communicating essential information to the building owner. This ensures that the owner is informed about who will be managing the project and the standards that must be adhered to, promoting safety and compliance throughout the abatement process.

Other roles, such as the project manager or building inspector, have specific functions within the project framework, but they do not hold the same level of responsibility for direct communication with the building owner concerning management requirements. This delineation of responsibilities is vital for maintaining clear lines of accountability and ensuring regulatory compliance during asbestos abatement operations.
