A. PURPOSE

Comply with 29 CFR 1910.1001, 40 CFR Part 763, federal, state, and local regulations and Job Corps policy as required by PRH. Chapter 5.16, R5. The program is designed to:

1. Ensure previously released asbestos fibers are cleaned up.

2. Prevent future release by minimizing asbestos containing material (ACM) disturbance or damage.

3. Monitor the condition of ACM.

4. Continue monitoring until all ACM is removed or the building is demolished.

B. STAFFING

The Center’s Maintenance Worker Training Leader shall serve as the Asbestos Program Manager for the Columbia Basin Job Corps CCC.

C. TRAINING

1. The Asbestos Program Manager shall receive initial training including a minimum of 16 hours of both classroom and practical Asbestos O&M training provided by an EPA-accredited training provider and will receive annual asbestos refresher training.

2. Other program participants who are required to monitor the condition and other characteristics of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) are the Center Safety Officer and the Maintenance staff who shall receive a minimum of 2 hours of asbestos awareness training and will receive annual asbestos refresher training.

3. Asbestos Awareness training for new staff and trainees will be provided by the Safety Officer during staff and trainee orientation training. This training will include the link between smoking, asbestos, and the increased risk of lung cancer. Annual refresher training will be conducted by the Safety Officer during an all center muster.

D. RESPONSIBILITY

The Asbestos Program Manager shall:

1. Record the exact location of ACM on building plans, specifications and drawings.

2. Ensure that when needed ACM is abated prior to undertaking work in those areas.

3. Inform all building occupants, new employees, maintenance staff and custodial workers about the location of the ACM and caution them against disturbing or damaging it, for example by hanging plants from an ACM ceiling.

4. Provide the required general awareness and annual refresher training for maintenance staff, Facilities Maintenance Trade Instructor and Center Safety Officer.

5. Post warning labels near the location of ACM that states “DANGER, ASBESTOS MAY CAUSE CANCER. CAUSES DAMAGE TO LUNGS.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.”

E. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. During the initial cleaning of asbestos fibers previously released, licensed asbestos abatement contractors shall steam clean or HEPA vacuum the building carpets; HEPA vacuum all surfaces not able to be wet mopped, such as curtains or books; wet mop all non-carpeted flooring; wipe all horizontal shelves with damp cloths. All filters, mop heads, cloths, and vacuum cleaner bags must be disposed of in sealed plastic bags according to EPA regulations regarding disposal of asbestos wastes.

2. Routine cleaning should be handled in the above manner if debris is found near ACM locations. Debris and/or damage to ACM shall be reported immediately to the Asbestos Program Manager.

3. Maintenance staff and construction trade instructors shall clear all construction, renovation, maintenance, or equipment repair work with the Asbestos Program Manager prior to performing any work. Workers shall avoid patching, repairing or removing any ACM. Under no circumstances are Job Corps trainees or staff to conduct asbestos abatement activities.

F. INSPECTIONS

The Asbestos Program Manager, Center Safety Officer, and/or Environmental Services Contractor shall:

1. Inspect all identified ACM, Appendix A, for damage or deterioration at least twice a year and report and document the findings.

2. Investigate the source of any potential asbestos debris found.

3. Arrange for or conduct sampling on material that is found that is presumed to be asbestos containing material (PACM).
