Activities defined by OSHA involving the removal of ACM which 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, roofing and siding shingles, and construction mastic. Certain "incidental" roofing materials such as mastic, flashing and cements when they are still intact are excluded from Class II asbestos work. Removal of small amounts of these materials which would fit into a glovebag may be classified as a Class III job.

1.2.7 Class III Asbestos Work

Activities defined by OSHA that involve repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI and surfacing ACM, is likely to be disturbed. Operations may include drilling, abrading, cutting a hole, cable pulling, crawling through tunnels or attics and spaces above the ceiling, where asbestos is actively disturbed or asbestos-containing debris is actively disturbed.

1.2.8 Class IV Asbestos Work

Maintenance and custodial demolition activities during which employees contact but do not disturb ACM and activities to clean-up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, II, and III activities.

This may include dusting surfaces where ACM waste and debris and accompanying dust exists and cleaning up loose ACM debris from TSI or surfacing ACM following demolition.

1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Remove all asbestos-containing materials (ACM) that will be impacted by the proposed renovation and at all areas that will be affected or impacted by the work on this Project. All asbestos material is to be disposed of as ACM waste.

In the event of a release of hazardous substances, notify the Contracting Officer immediately.

All waste materials shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be transported, disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations and this specification section.

This section covers all operations in which asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are encountered. These procedures and equipment are required to protect workers and building occupants from airborne asbestos fibers and ACM dust and debris. Activities include OSHA Class I, and Class II work operations. This section also includes containment, storage, transportation and disposal of the generated ACM wastes.

Submit Detailed Drawings in accordance with Client’s requirements and containing descriptions, and site layout to include worksite containment area(s), local exhaust systems locations, decontamination units and load-out units, other temporary waste storage facility, access tunnels, location of temporary utilities (electrical, water, sewer) and boundaries of each regulated area.

1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE

In addition to detailed requirements of this specification, work performed under this contract shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, criteria, rules and regulations regarding handling, storing, transporting, and disposing of asbestos waste materials. Matters of interpretation of standards shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for resolution before starting work. Where the jrm 02 82 14 – 8

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

requirements of this specification, applicable laws, criteria, ordinances, regulations, and referenced documents vary, the most stringent requirements shall apply.

1.5.1 Written Qualifications and Organization Report

Submit a written qualifications and organization report providing evidence of qualifications of the Contractor, Contractor's Project Supervisor, Designated Competent Person, supervisors and workers;

Designated IH; independent testing laboratory; all subcontractors to be used including disposal transportation and disposal facility firms, subcontractor supervisors, subcontractor workers; and any others assigned to perform asbestos abatement and support activities. Include in the report an organization chart showing the Contractor's staff organization chain of command and reporting relationship with all subcontractors. The report shall be signed by the Contractor, the Contractor's onsite project manager, Designated Competent Person, Designated IH, designated testing laboratory and the principals of all subcontractors to be used. Include the following statement in the report: "By signing this report I certify that the personnel I am responsible for during the course of this project fully understand the contents of 29 CFR 1926.1101, 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, and the federal, state and local requirements for those asbestos abatement activities that they will be involved in."

1.5.2 Specific Requirements

Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA) regulations, locally enforced by CAL/OSHA, define ACM as substances that contain greater than 1% asbestos. Cal/OSHA also mandates special training, medical exams, personal protective equipment and record keeping for employees working with ACM. If a material contains less than 1% asbestos but more than 0.1% asbestos, the material may be disposed of as non-ACM, but the Cal/OSHA requirements would still have to be followed regarding workers' protection and Contractor licensing.

Cal-OSHA regulations 1529 (Asbestos in Construction) and 5208 (General Industry Asbestos Standard), the term “asbestos” is not defined by a specific concentration and thus means asbestos in any amount.

This means the requirements of 1529 and 5208 would apply. This can include the following:

a. Proper training as required in Applicable regulations which include California Code of

Regulations, Title 8, Section 1529 (Asbestos in Construction), Section 5208 (General Industry Asbestos Standard), as well as other regulations including Section 3203 (Injury and Illness Prevention) and 5194 (Hazard Communication)

b. Report of Carcinogen use with DOSH

c. Hazard communication to employees

d. In instances where the airborne asbestos concentrations have exceeded or are likely to exceed the PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit), employees would be provided with respirators and an employer would institute a respiratory protection program. As a result of this, a medical surveillance program would also need to be implemented by the employer prior to employees wearing respirators.

e. Adhering to work practices outlined in Cal-OSHA, including regulated areas, prohibitive access to these areas, safe work practices, and wet methods.

Asbestos abatement involving more than one hundred square feet (>100 SF) of asbestos-containing material (>0.1%) must be completed by a registered Abatement Contractor per the California Business & Professions Code (8 CCR Sections 341.6-9).

Designate in writing, personnel meeting the following qualifications:

a. Asbestos Abatement Contractor: Certified/licensed by EPA and California where work occurs to perform asbestos-related activities.
