I. Asbestos Definitions:

1. Asbestos Containing Material. Any material containing more than one percent Asbestos. For purposes of these specifications, ACM includes Presumed Asbestos-Containing Material (PACM) as defined by 29 CFR 1926.1101.

2. Asbestos Regulated Work Area. An area established to demarcate areas where Class I, II, and III asbestos work is conducted, and any adjoining area where debris and waste from such asbestos work accumulates; and a work area where the airborne concentration of asbestos fibers exceeds, or has a possibility to exceed, the permissible exposure limit.

3. Amended water means water to which surfactant (wetting agent) has been added to increase the ability of the liquid to penetrate ACM.

4. Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH). An Industrial Hygienist certified in the comprehensive practice of industrial hygiene by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene.

5. Class I asbestos work means activities involving the removal of thermal system insulation (TSI) and surfacing ACM and PACM.

6. Class II Asbestos Work. Activities involving the removal of ACM that is not thermal system insulation or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of asbestos-containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, siding shingles, and construction mastic.

7. Class III asbestos work means repair and maintenance operations, where "ACM", including TSI and surfacing ACM and PACM, is likely to be disturbed.

8. Competent Person means, in addition to the definition in 29 CFR 1926.32 (f), one who is capable of identifying existing asbestos hazards in the workplace and selecting the appropriate control strategy for asbestos exposure, who has the authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them, as specified in 29 CFR 1926.32(f): in addition, for Class I and Class II work who is specially trained in a training course which meets the criteria of EPA's Model Accreditation Plan (40 CFR 763) for supervisor, or its equivalent and, for Class III and Class IV work, who is trained in a manner consistent with EPA requirements for training of local education agency maintenance and custodial staff as set forth at 40 CFR 763.92 (a)(2).

9. Friable ACM. Any material containing more than one-percent asbestos, and that can be crumbled or reduced to powder by hand pressure. (May include previously non-friable material which becomes broken or damaged by mechanical force.)

10. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. A filter capable of trapping and retaining at least

99.97 percent of all mono-dispersed particles of 0.3 micrometers in diameter.

11. Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). The PEL for asbestos is 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air as an eight-hour time-weighted average (TWA), with an excursion limit (EL) of 1.0 fibers per cubic centimeter over a thirty minute period.

12. Time-weighted average limit (TWA). The TWA is an 8-hour time weighted average concentration of airborne asbestos fibers (longer than 5 micrometers) per cubic centimeter of air that represents the employee's 8-hour workday as determined by the method prescribed in 29 CFR

1926.1101 Appendix A, or by an equivalent method.
