Compliance software for asbestos abatement contractors.

The regulatory floor for asbestos work

Asbestos work in construction sits under three overlapping federal regimes, plus a state asbestos program in most states. The major ones:

• OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 (Asbestos in Construction). Defines Class I-IV work, requires worker accreditation, sets the PEL and excursion limit, mandates area and personal monitoring, defines competent-person duties, and specifies decontamination and respiratory protection requirements.
• OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1020 (Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records). The 30-year retention rule for exposure and medical records.
• EPA NESHAP (40 CFR 61 Subpart M). Notification, work-practice standards, and waste-disposal rules for renovations and demolitions that disturb regulated asbestos-containing material.
• AHERA (40 CFR Part 763). For work in schools, governs inspections, management plans, accredited inspectors, and accredited project designers.
• State asbestos programs. In Massachusetts, 453 CMR 6.00 (DLS) and 310 CMR 7.15 (DEP). Other states have parallel programs with their own notification and licensing requirements.

Nexus tracks the records and produces the documentation those rules require. It does not substitute for an attorney, a CIH, or your state inspector. (See our full breakdown of 1926.1101.)

What we actually solve

1. Knowing on Monday morning which workers can legally enter a Class I job

Every asbestos worker carries a stack of credentials: initial 40-hour worker training, annual 8-hour refresher, fit test, medical clearance, supervisor 40-hour where applicable, and state license. Nexus shows you, per project and per worker, who is current and who is not. Workers whose required credentials are missing or expired can't be assigned; workers with credentials expiring during the project window come back as warnings.

2. Producing a worker's credential record on demand

When an OSHA inspector asks for a worker's records, you have a few minutes to find them. Nexus stores every credential against the worker with the source document attached. The export gives you the credential history as a CSV with the linked PDFs available for download alongside.

3. Keeping the daily field paperwork from rotting in the truck

Pre-shift JHA, daily log with the pre-abatement checklist, incident reports. Mobile-first forms that a supervisor can fill out in PPE without a desk.

4. Holding the project data NESHAP notification needs

For renovations and demolitions covered by NESHAP, the 10-day notification asks for project address, scope, removal method, waste destination, and dates. Nexus stores all of that on the project record so the person filing isn't recopying from three folders. We don't yet auto-generate the state-specific notification PDF.

What you get

• Worker profiles with every accreditation, fit test, medical clearance, and refresher date tracked separately.
• Expiring-credential dashboard that surfaces upcoming renewals before they lapse.
• Project-to-credential matching so unqualified workers can't be assigned to regulated work.
• Daily field forms: pre-shift JHA, daily log with the pre-abatement checklist, daily report, incident and near-miss.
• Long-horizon credential archive with renewal chains preserved.
• Project closeout PDF compiled from daily logs, JHA records, daily reports, permits, photos, and crew credentials.
• Mobile-first workflows, with punches and photo uploads queueing when there's no signal.
• English, Spanish, and Russian translations on the field-facing workflows.

What we deliberately don't do

• We're not an accounting system. We export to QuickBooks; we don't replace it.
• We don't analyze your air samples. Your IH and your lab do. We track the project status and credential record.
• We don't auto-file state notifications. We organize the data. Your designated person submits.
• We don't track equipment maintenance. HEPA vac filter logs and negative-air-machine service records belong somewhere else for now.
• We don't yet generate OSHA 300/300A logs. We hold the incident data; the form output is on the roadmap.

How it fits with the rest of your stack

Nexus replaces the spreadsheet you use to track credentials, the binder you keep in the office for project paperwork, the second binder you keep in the truck for daily forms, and the third binder you dread when an inspector asks for a worker's records. It sits alongside QuickBooks (or whatever you use for accounting), your IH's lab portal, and your state's online notification system.
