(1)  The department shall prescribe, by rule, a form of seal to be used by asbestos consultants and asbestos contractors holding valid licenses. Each asbestos consultant or contractor shall obtain an impression-type metal seal in the form aforesaid. All plans, specifications, plats, or reports prepared or issued by the consultant or contractor and being filed for public record shall be signed by the consultant or contractor, dated, and stamped with such seal. Such signature, date, and seal shall be evidence of the authenticity of that to which they are affixed. It is unlawful for any person to stamp or seal any document with a seal after that person's license has expired or been revoked or suspended, unless reinstated or reissued.

(2)  When the license of an asbestos consultant or contractor has been revoked or suspended by the department, it shall be mandatory that the consultant or contractor surrender that consultant's or contractor's seal to the secretary of the department within a period of 30 days after the revocation or suspension has become effective. In the event the consultant's or contractor's license has been suspended for a period of time, the seal shall be returned to the consultant or contractor upon expiration of the suspension period.

(3)  No asbestos consultant or contractor may affix or permit to be affixed that consultant's or contractor's seal or name to any plan, specification, drawing, or other document that depicts work which is beyond the scope of licensure for the consultant's or contractor's profession or specialty.
