b. General (clean) area samples will be collected outside the restricted area to verify that the engineering controls established on this project are effective in preventing the spread of airborne asbestos fibers to uncontaminated areas. In the event that general area samples obtained outside the enclosure but in the regulated area are equal to or exceed 0.05 fiber/cc, work inside the removal area will cease. The cause will be identified and corrected before allowing the Contractor to resume the asbestos abatement activities.

c. Personal breathing zone samples shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Owner’s Representative may verify personal breathing zone samples. Sample results shall be displayed within 24 hours of collection. If the airborne fiber concentration is in excess of the PEL, the Contractor shall document the steps taken to control and minimize the levels of airborne asbestos fibers. This monitoring does not relieve the Contractor of their OSHA responsibilities.

d. Clearance samples shall be collected only after the on-site industrial hygienist, and a representative of the Contractor has performed a visual examination on the removal area. If asbestos is detected subsequent to clearance sampling, the ACM shall be removed. Additional clearance samples may be required.

Post-abatement air clearance samples shall be below the required MIOSHA limit of 0.05 f/cc.
