(2) When friable asbestos-containing materials are identified in a state building, a notice shall be conspicuously posted on each entrance to the building informing the users of the building of their presence. The notice shall include the following warning:

(6) When inspections identify asbestos in a building which has been enclosed or encapsulated to prevent its spread, a notice shall be posted in the custodial offices of the building informing maintenance personnel of the location of such materials.
