New York Labor Law Section 902 - Licensing and certification requirements.

  902.  Licensing  and  certification  requirements.  1.  It shall be
  unlawful for any contractor to engage in an asbestos project unless such
  contractor  has  a  valid  asbestos  handling  license  issued  by   the
  commissioner.  Such  license  will  not  be  issued  without evidence of
  successful completion by the contractor, or a supervisor  designated  to
  act  as  the  contractor's agent, of an approved asbestos safety program
  which is, at the least, equivalent to the U.S. Environmental  Protection
  Agency  Model Accreditation Plan (40 CFR Part 763) and the submission of
  any additional information which the commissioner may require.

2. A copy of a valid asbestos handling license or other proof  of  the
  issuance  of a valid asbestos handling license granted to the contractor
  who will be undertaking the asbestos project must be  submitted  by  the
  bidder  in  a  form acceptable to the commissioner prior to the award of
  any public works contract all or part  of  which  involves  an  asbestos
  project.

3.  A  copy of a valid asbestos handling license must be conspicuously
  displayed at the work site on an asbestos project.

4. It shall be unlawful for any contractor to engage in or to permit a
  person  employed  by  the  contractor,  including  but  not  limited  to
  handlers,  project  designers,  inspectors  and  management planners, to
  engage in work on an asbestos project or to supervise  persons  engaging
  in  work  on  an asbestos project unless each such person and supervisor
  has a valid asbestos handling certificate. Such certificate will not  be
  issued  without evidence of successful completion by each such person of
  an approved asbestos safety program and the submission of any additional
  information which the commissioner may require.

5. Any person employed on an asbestos project or the supervisor of any
  person engaged in work on an asbestos project or any other person who is
  otherwise required by law or regulation to obtain an asbestos  handler's
  certificate  shall have in his or her possession at all times during the
  work on the project a copy of the asbestos handling  certificate  issued
  to the person by the commissioner.
