5.5.2.7 Non-skid and OSHA-compliant ladders shall be used during this project.

5.5.3 Worker Training: Follow recommendations as defined in supplied reports. Note that protective measures are required relating to items identified as contaminated with mold and the RCRA 7 metals report.

This should be included in the scope of the CIH remediation plan. The following are general related requirements.

5.5.3.1 All workers involved in the removal of microbial remediation activities shall receive at minimum hazard communication training to minimize potential adverse health effects associated with exposure to microbes and other biological vectors. Training shall include the following topics in coverage:

5.5.3.1.1 Microbial hazards including fungi and bacteria.

5.5.3.1.2 Potential health effects associated with exposure to microbes.

5.5.3.1.3 Exposure routes (e.g., inhalation, dermal, ingestion).

5.5.4 Personal Protective Equipment

5.5.4.1 All workers involved in the removal of microbial contaminated materials shall wear PPE assigned to minimize exposure and reduce potential adverse health effects. Recommended PPE includes the following:

5.5.4.1.1 Disposable half-face high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter or N95 air purifying respirator at minimum.

5.5.4.1.2 Eye goggles to prevent exposure to eyes (if full-face respirator is not used).

5.5.4.1.3 Tyvek suit or other suitable protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.

5.5.4.1.4 Nitrile or Rubber gloves

5.5.4.1.5 Rubber boots

5.6 Engineering Controls: Unless otherwise specified in accordance with established practices, to prevent the migration of microbial contamination outside the work area install a HEPA filtered negative air system to establish negative pressure relative to adjoining spaces, with filtered discharge to outside, prior to beginning remediation activities. Install a sheet of plastic with a slit and a cover flap at the door fastened to existing floor and wall area. Turn-off and cover all Fan Coil Unit air-conditioners and other HVAC equipment using minimum thickness 6-mil polyethylene. Seal penetrations between other floors using polyethylene or other suitable material.

5.7 Removal of Furniture and Equipment: Furniture and equipment that will not be discarded shall NOT be moved by occupants prior to contractor performing microbial remediation and demolition activities. These items shall be HEPA vacuumed. All surfaces shall be cleaned using a HEPA-filtered vacuum or, if necessary, they shall be cleaned and Disinfected (follow directions listed below) before they are moved. The items shall be stored in a clean area where the items will not become re-contaminated during demolition and remediation activities.

5.8 HEPA Vacuuming: Non-porous surfaces without heavy soil or microbial contamination shall be vacuumed using a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner.

Porous surfaces without heavy soil or microbial contamination shall brush with a minimum nylon bristled brush and vacuumed using a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner. HEPA Vacuuming shall be the only cleanup method of all electronic equipment.

5.9 Pre-cleaning Surfaces: If visible microbial contamination or heavy soil is present on any non-porous surfaces the surfaces shall be cleaned following means and methods as prescribed by IICRC S520. The cleaning must remove and capture microbial all contamination. Thoroughly scrub all contaminated surfaces using a stiff brush, hot water and a non-ammonia soap/detergent or commercial cleaner. The excess cleaning liquid shall be collected with a wet/dry vacuum, mop or sponge. The area shall be rinsed with clean water and the excess rinse water shall be collected for disposal.

5.10 Disinfecting Surfaces: After cleaning has removed all visible microbial contamination and other soiling from contaminated surfaces, a disinfectant may be used to kill microbial contamination missed by the cleaning. The affected surfaces shall be scrubbed with an aqueous solution of 10% bleach (3cups/gallon), 5% Tri-sodium-phosphate (TSP, depending on the concentration - 2/3 cup) and 5%-mile detergent (1/3 cup/gallon). Another alternative is using a commercial Mildew Stain Remover, manufactured by ZEP or other approved alternative. The solution can be applied with a spray bottle, garden sprayer, or it can be sponged on. Collect any run-off of bleach solution with a wet/ dry vacuum, sponge, or mop. Do not rinse or wipe the bleach solution off the areas being treated -- allow it to air dry on the surface. (Bleach and ammonia should not be mixed as a toxic chlorine gas may result). Bleach can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. Protect skin and eyes from contact with bleach. Test solution on a small area before treatment, since bleach is very corrosive and may damage materials.

5.11 Removing Microbial Contaminated Materials: Remove heavily microbial contaminated materials such as damaged furniture, ceiling tiles, drywall, wood studs (if any), carpets, and cove base. Inspect the remaining surfaces and remove visible microbial contamination, as needed, using the pre-cleaning, and disinfecting procedures outlined above. After removing visible microbial contamination, vacuum all remaining surfaces including floors, walls, and ceiling tile grids using a HEPA- filtered vacuum. Contractor is responsible for the removal and disposal of any hazardous waste material accumulated. To prevent the spread of microbes, place all removed materials in two (2) 6-mil polyethylene bags or wrap the materials in a minimum 6-mil thickness polyethylene plastic sheeting. If polyethylene sheeting is used, duct tape shall be applied to seal the items inside the plastic. Remove the materials from the work area and dispose with regular trash. The taping should be done is such a way as to create an airtight seal.

5.12 Post Activities/Reports: After clean up and mold remediation, a certifiable and calibrated moisture meter shall be used to ensure the moisture is within acceptable limits (recommended to be <16 - 20 %). The Contractor shall submit a final report of mold testing to confirm remediation has been completed. The report will include samples taken from all of the areas remediation took place.

5.13 Post Work Clean-up. Contractor generated hazardous chemicals used in the cleaning process will be captured and disposed of off base at a city or state approved disposal site. This includes all runoff from the hoods and ducts. Non-hazardous chemicals that have been preapproved by the Hazmat manager may be disposed of on site. The contractor shall clean up each work site after completion of services.

5.14 Health and Safety

5.14.1 No processes or materials shall be employed in such a manner that they will introduce additional hazards into occupied spaces.

5.14.2 Disposal of Debris: All Debris removed from the duct work system shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
