A Procedure 5 plan is a cleanup plan required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) when asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed or damaged.

Most of the times, a Procedure 5 is required because asbestos-containing materials are disturbed/damaged by a fire, water damage, or improper removal.

What is a procedure 5 work plan?

The Procedure 5 work plan outlines the steps for safely cleaning up asbestos contamination. The goal is to prevent asbestos exposure and ensure proper removal and disposal.

The work plans must be prepared by a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) and submitted to the SCAQMD for approval before any cleanup efforts begin.

The work plan typically includes information about the extent of the damage, the type of ACM, the methods to be used for cleanup, and how the debris will be disposed of.

Stay Compliant With SCAQMD Rule 1403

Whether you’re a contractor, building owner, or property manager, understanding and complying with Rule 1403 and Procedure 5 requirements is essential for staying on the right side of the law and protecting your team and the public.

If you’re not sure whether your situation requires a Procedure 5, consult with a certified asbestos professional or contact SCAQMD directly.
