If asbestos abatement is a part of any project, neither the owner, employees or agents of the owner, nor any other person may have any claim, right, or action against the prime contractor for any asbestos related injury or damage arising from the activities of a certified asbestos abatement subcontractor. Unless exempt under applicable state and federal law, no asbestos abatement work may be performed except by a certified asbestos contractor. A certified asbestos abatement subcontractor shall hold the owner and general contractor harmless from any liability arising from such subcontractor’s activities on the project. A certified asbestos abatement contractor shall cause the owner and, if acting as a subcontractor, the general contractor to be named as additional insureds and provide sufficient proof of insurance for purposes of this section.
