Airborne Contaminant Control 01 35 45 - 1

SECTION 01 35 45

AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT CONTROL

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY:

A. Related sections:

1. Section 02 26 00 Hazardous Materials Assessment

2. Section 02 41 00 Demolition

3. Section 02 82 33 Removal and Disposal of Asbestos Containing Materials

4. Section 02 83 33 Removal and Disposal of Materials Containing Lead

5. Section 02 84 18 Removal and Disposal of Chemical Hazards

B. Notification of Potential Hazards: Asbestos, lead and other potentially hazardous materials are present in the building that may impact the work of all trades. Regulated air contaminants, including asbestos and lead, are also present in settled and concealed dust in and on architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical components or systems throughout the building. All trades shall coordinate with other trades and conduct their work to prevent worker exposure or site contamination. Refer to Specification Divisions 0, 1 and 2 for specific information concerning disturbing, removing and disposing of these materials and the installation of new materials or components. This notification is provided in accordance with EPA and OSHA requirements.

1.02 DEFINITIONS:

A. “Airborne Contaminants” are those contaminants listed in 29 CFR 1926.55 and 8 AAC

61.1100 that have the potential to become airborne due to various work activities being performed by the Contractor. Additionally, airborne contaminants include those fumes and odors that may be objectionable to personnel in Occupied Areas of the facility even though they are not listed in the reference regulations. Airborne contaminants may be broadly categorized as Pre-Existing or Activity Generated. Contaminant producing activities include, but are not limited to:

1. Demolition, removal, installation and disposal of walls, floors, ceilings, steel, and other architectural or structural materials.

2. Disturbance or removal of existing settled and concealed dusts.

3. Demolition, relocation, installation and disposal of plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems and equipment.

4. Finish operations such as sanding, preparation, painting, and application of special surface coatings.

5. Any construction activity, which can generate aerosols, dust, smoke, or fumes.

6. Temporary heat sources.

7. Other on-site work operations not described above.

B. “Pre-Existing Contaminants” are those contaminants that are present in the facility prior to the start of any work. These contaminants, including asbestos and lead, are assumed to be present in settled and concealed dust throughout the building in areas not subject to routine cleaning, including the roof and inside and on top of architectural, mechanical, electrical and structural elements. The dust generally contains several common components including, but not limited to asbestos, cellulose, cotton, fiberglass, lead, silica and other Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated. Representative dusts throughout the facility have been examined by an EPA Certified Building Inspector and determined not to be “asbestos debris” from adjacent “Asbestos-Containing Building Materials” (ACBM).

Based on similar sampling from similar buildings, the inspector also determined that the dusts are unlikely to contain more than one percent (1%) asbestos by weight, and therefore

Airborne Contaminant Control 01 35 45 - 2 are not an asbestos-containing material (ACM). Reference 40 CFR 763.83 for asbestos, and 29 CFR 1926.1153 for silica. Refer to Section 02 26 00, Hazardous Materials Assessment. Dust and debris related to adjacent damaged asbestos containing materials are addressed in Section 02 82 33, Removal and Disposal of Asbestos Containing Materials.

C. “Activity Generated Contaminants” are those contaminants generated by the various demolition or construction related activities of the Contractor. Examples of typical Activity Generated Contaminants include wood dust (cellulose), cement dust (silica), gypsum dust (particulates not otherwise regulated), paint fumes, and welding fumes. A complete list of regulated air contaminants is available in 29 CFR 1926.55 and 8 AAC 61.1100.

D. “Work Areas”: Areas of demolition, renovation, construction, adjacent staging and storage areas, and passage areas for workers, supplies, and waste. This may include but is not limited to attic spaces, spaces above ceilings, crawl spaces, mechanical and electrical spaces, confined spaces and other spaces not normally accessed or occupied.

E. “Occupied Areas”: Areas as determined by Owner’s Representative and as shown on contract drawings. Typically these include areas adjacent to Work Areas or containment areas, either occupied or used for passage, as well as areas connected to construction area by mechanical system air intake, exhaust, and ductwork. Contaminant control procedures may be relaxed during periods when the building is not occupied as allowed by the Contractor’s approved work plan.

F. “Critical Clean Areas”: Areas inside or outside the Work Area with equipment or occupants that cannot tolerate airborne contamination, and are to be maintained under positive pressure by High-Efficiency, Particulate, Air (HEPA) filtered equipment relative to the surrounding air. These areas will be described or shown in contract documents or drawings.

G. “Contractor” is defined to include all trades and all subcontractors performing work on the work site.

H. “Negative Initial Determination” is a determination made either through air monitoring or other objective data that indicates worker exposure to regulated airborne contaminants are below or expected to be below the regulated limits.

1.03 AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT CONTROL

A. There is no requirement to remove Pre-Existing Contaminants from the facility. The Contractor may remove Pre-Existing Contaminants from their work areas if they determine that to be a more cost effective means of completing the work.

B. The Contractors shall establish and maintain control over the generation and containment of all potential airborne contaminants so that workers, facilities, staff, programs, equipment, and operations are not adversely affected, including adverse effects on air monitoring.

Construction activities that disturb existing materials or create airborne contaminants must be conducted in Work Areas specifically constructed, ventilated, and/or equipped to prevent the movement of contaminants into Occupied or Critical Clean Areas.

C. The Contractor shall establish and maintain control over Activity Generated Contaminants within the Work Area to prevent abnormally high levels of airborne contaminants from settling on architectural, mechanical, electrical or structural components within the work areas, or interference with monitoring conducted for other work. The Contractor shall be

Airborne Contaminant Control 01 35 45 - 3 required to clean all surfaces within a work area where abnormally high levels of Activity Generated Contaminants are deposited.

D. The Contractor shall ensure that all workers are aware of the Occupied and Critical Clean Areas, the potential air contaminants present and the means and methods established in the work plan to control those contaminants.

E. The Contractor shall ensure workers have the proper protective equipment needed for the job being performed.

1.04 TRAINING

A. The Contractor shall ensure that all workers/trades performing work on the project site are trained in accordance with OSHA standards for hazard communication (29 CFR 1910.1200) and proper protective equipment (29 CFR 1926), as well as engineering controls and work methods required to prevent exposure to regulated air contaminants that might be generated or encountered as a results of their work, including 29 CFR 1926.1153.
