ACM & Environmental Services has supposedly violated the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Act which brings them to pay a fine of up to $1,500. The company is being blamed for inappropriately getting rid of asbestos materials from Central High School back in 2007 as a consultant for the Muncie Community School District.

Asbestos removal contractors should provide safety guidelines, training and proper gear for their employees. The company has reportedly admitted to have failed eight standard procedures, one of which is not having properly equipped their employees with work suits and safety glasses during asbestos removal. Failure to comply with the guidelines stated by the law may bring about heavy consequences and costly penalties.
