These steps are in accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI), EPA, and MDEQ.

OSHA regulations govern all worker safety requirements and must be always complied with by the Contractors and sub-Contractors. These requirements are summarized in the Keesler Air Force Base Asbestos Operations and Management Plan.

4.6.1 The following steps are required by all personnel or Contractors doing work on Keesler AFB:

4.6.1.1 If the personnel or Contractor encounters what they think may be asbestos, they are required to stop and call the KAFB Asbestos Point of Contact (APOC) for the Keesler Environmental Section (BOS/CEV) at 228-377- 1262 or EMCS (228- 377-4179) after hours.

4.6.1.2 Once it is determined by the APOC that asbestos is present, the following actions described below are required (Only the APOC and Bioenvironmental are certified to make that determination).

4.7 NO ABATEMENT WORK IS TO BEGIN WITHOUT WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM

THE APOC:

A Mississippi State certified asbestos abatement Contractor must be used to conduct the abatement. Please note that non-friable asbestos can easily be made friable and become regulated.

4.7.1 Before: The following documents must be submitted to the CO and approved in writing before abatement can begin:

4.7.1.1 10 Day MDEQ notification and return acknowledgment letter.

4.7.1.2 Asbestos Hazard Abatement Plan (to be certified by a Mississippi

Certified Management Planner and/or Certified Industrial Hygienist).

V15-CONS-10/22/24

4.7.2.1 The Contractor is required to set up their containment areas, negative air machine, and critical barriers and obtain approval from the Asbestos POC to begin work.

4.7.2.2 The Asbestos POC routinely checks the abatement work to ensure the containment area and critical barriers are secure, the workers are wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment, the asbestos-containing material is being bagged appropriately, and air monitoring is being conducted on the workers and outside the abatement area. This also includes reviewing the daily log maintained on site to assure no uncertified individuals are performing abatement work.

4.7.2.3 Upon completion of the abatement work, the Contractor contacts the Asbestos POC to conduct a walk-through of the area and approve all abatement has been completed and the area has been cleaned of asbestos fibers. This action will require at least a 24-hour period. Please reference cleaning procedures in the Asbestos Management and Operations Plan.

4.7.2.4 Air sampling results are required to be collected and submitted for approval by the Asbestos POC before the containment area, negative air machine, and critical barriers can be removed.

4.7.2.5 All asbestos waste must be handled and disposed of in accordance with State law. The Asbestos POC must review the waste prior to leaving the base and the manifest will be signed by a designated Keesler government representative.

4.8 REQUIRED LEAD-BASED PAINT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES:

Appropriate OSHA worker protection is the responsibility of the employer. All projects will be monitored and inspected by BOS/CEV. The purpose of these instructions is to provide guidance to safely remove or encapsulate lead-based paint without causing a hazard. All work must be performed in accordance with OSHA, MDEQ and any local regulations for all work and disposal. The regulations are divided into two parts; a) lead-based paint on non-child occupied/non-target housing buildings and b) child occupied/target housing buildings.

4.8.1 Child-occupied/target housing buildings:

4.8.1.1 Any child-occupied/target housing building older than 1978 must be painted using Lead Paint Protocol, including poly-lay-down, collection of paint chips, and the Contractor must always have a minimum of lead

V15-CONS-10/22/24

hazard training for all workers. The Contractor shall notify BOS/CEV before start of any project.

4.8.1.2 A paint Contractor must collect paint chips in their own clean buckets and have BOS/CEV dispose (if contract requires BOS/CEV dispose).

Contractor must place plastic on the ground sufficient to capture all loosened paint chips and control water run-off.

4.8.1.3 For work on child-occupied/target housing buildings falling under the Lead Paint Protocol, the Contractor must use water or amended water when scraping or chipping. All members of the Contractor’s work force must wear protective clothing and comply with all OSHA rules and regulations. OSHA regulation compliance is the employer’s responsibility and is subject to inspection by OSHA and the Base. Suggested PPE include foot protection (ex. Rubber Boots) worn while on the poly. All PPE shall be stored on the protective plastic when not in use and shall be decontaminated or disposed of in an approved manner. Minimum respiratory protection for any OSHA “trigger task” such as scraping, manual sanding, demolition, heat gun and power tool cleaning is a half-mask air purifying respirator (APR) with HEPA filter that is at least 99.97 percent efficient (i.e., P100). APR fit tests evidence must be provided for inspection. Other circumstances may warrant higher protection. PPE determination is the responsibility of the Contractor.

4.9 TESTING LABORATORY AND EQUIPMENT:

4.9.1 Employ certified independent laboratories to perform sampling and testing. The testing laboratory organization shall be certified for the type of testing work to be done.

4.9.2 All measuring devices, laboratory equipment, and instruments shall be calibrated at established intervals against certified standards in accordance with NBS requirements. Upon request, measuring and testing devices shall be made available for use by the Government for verification tests.

4.9.3 Radiation Equipment Permits and Authorizations. Contractors contemplating the use of devices containing radioactive materials (i.e., soil moisture/density probes) or non-ionizing radiation producing equipment (radio frequency radiation emitters or lasers) while performing work on this contract must obtain written authorization/permit from the Keesler AFB Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight, 81st Operation Medical Readiness Squadron (OMRS). To obtain the required authorization permit, an application to bring a radioactive device on Keesler AFB must be forwarded to 81st MDG/OMRS, (mailing address, physical address is 301 Fisher St, Biloxi, MS 39534 or phone (228 377-3808)), at least 45 days prior to the anticipated use. Without the proper authorization, Contractors will not be allowed to bring these devices on base. If radioactive material will be brought onto Keesler AFB, the Contractor shall provide Bioenvironmental Engineering (81 MDG/OMRS) a copy of contractor's radioactive materials permit and training certificates.
