29 CFR 1910.1001(j)(5)(i): The building owner or employer did not affix or post labels or signs to notify employees of what materials contain ACM and/or PACM for previously installed ACM and/or PACM:  (a)  The employer did not affix or post labels or signs to notify employees of the presence of asbestos-containing floor tile in the facility.   NOTE: Since it is generally not feasible to put labels on floors, alternatives may be used. If asbestos-containing floors are being serviced by employees using a common equipment room day after day, then a sign or label for the asbestos flooring can be posted in the equipment room. The object is to forewarn employees who may be potentially exposed during the floor cleaning operation and have access to the material.
