Concurrent Breakout: Educating Site Parties on Regulatory Compliance

This presentation provides restoration contractors, insurance adjusters, and property managers with a practical framework for navigating the complex and often inconsistent landscape of state-level asbestos, lead, and mold regulations. While federal standards establish baseline requirements, many states impose additional licensing, notification, training, and work-practice obligations that materially affect restoration scope, cost, and liability.

Through a structured comparison of federal versus state authority, real-world case examples, and discipline-specific guidance, the session highlights where out-of-state adjusters and contractors most frequently encounter compliance failures. Particular emphasis is placed on asbestos abatement, lead-based paint activities, and mold remediation—three regulatory domains where state enforcement trends increasingly drive project delays, claim disputes, and professional exposure.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to identify state-specific requirements, verify contractor and adjuster compliance, and implement documentation and risk-management practices that reduce regulatory violations, protect insurability, and preserve professional credibility in multi-state restoration operations.
