An adequate supply of soap, shampoo, and towels shall be supplied by the Contractor and shall be made available at all times.

Shower water shall be drained, collected and filtered through a system with at least 5.0 micron particle size collection capability. A system containing a series of several filters with progressively smaller pore sizes shall be used to avoid rapid clogging of filtration system by large particles. Filtered waste water shall be discharged to a sanitary sewer.

C. Emergency Exits

Emergency exits shall be established and clearly marked with duct tape arrows or other effective designations to permit easy location from anywhere within the Work Area. They shall be secured to prevent access from uncontaminated areas and still permit emergency exiting.

The abatement shall be limited to only what can be completed in one evening or as authorized be the owner. The time frame for abatement shall include the collection and analysis of area and clearance samples. Contractor to restore work area to original condition.

E. Maintenance of Workplace Barriers and Workers Decontamination Enclosure Systems

1. Following completion of the construction of all polyethylene barriers and

Decontamination System Enclosures, allow a settling period to ensure that barriers will remain intact and secured to walls and fixtures before beginning actual abatement activities.

Enclosure System, and at partitions constructed to isolate the Work Area from occupied areas, shall be inspected at least twice daily, prior to the start of each day's abatement activities and following the completion of the day's abatement activities.

3. Damage and defects in the enclosure system are to be repaired immediately upon discovery.

4. Smoke tubes shall be used to test the effectiveness of the barrier system before abatement work begins and at least once a day thereafter until the work is completed.

Results and observations shall be documented in the project log book.

5. At any time during the abatement activities after barriers have been erected, if visible material or emissions are observed outside of the work area or if damage occurs to barriers, work shall immediately stop, repairs be made to barriers, and debris/residue cleaned up using appropriate HEPA vacuuming and wet mopping procedures, prior to resuming abatement activities.

6. If air samples collected outside of the Work Area during abatement activities indicate airborne fiber concentrations greater than 0.01 f/cc or the pre-measured background levels (whichever is lower) determined by phase contrast microscopy or TEM, work shall immediately stop for inspection and repair of barriers. Cleanup of surfaces outside of the Work Area using HEPA vacuums or wet cleaning techniques shall be done prior to resuming abatement activities.

7. Install and initiate operation of negative pressure ventilation equipment as needed to provide one air change in the work area every 15 minutes. If chemical solvents or removers are to be used, the Contractor shall provide six air changes per hour in the Work Area. Openings made in the enclosure system to accommodate these units shall be made airtight with tape and/or caulking as needed. If more than one unit is installed, they shall be turned on one at a time, checking the integrity of wall barriers for secure attachment and need for additional reinforcement. Ensure that adequate power supply is available to satisfy the requirements of the ventilating units.
