If the work area is unsafe as determined by the Contracts Administrator or any Air Force inspecting authority, the Contracts Administrator, will require the Contractor to stop work until the unsafe conditions are corrected.

3.10.3 Final Inspection

The thoroughness of asbestos removal is to be evaluated by visually inspecting the affected surfaces for residual asbestos material and accumulated dust followed by air sampling. Evidence of residual asbestos or asbestos debris on any adjacent surfaces upon completion of the work is not acceptable.

Upon completion of the work, conduct a thorough visual inspection of the work area by the Abatement Contractor or the CIH to ensure no residual asbestos material, dust or debris remains. Document final inspections and provide a copy of the documentation to the 45 CES Project Manager.

If applicable, final aggressive air sampling is to be performed by the CIH or licensed asbestos abatement contractor for each NPE work area after completion of a satisfactory visual inspection. The clearance criteria is

0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air as determined by PCM.

Satisfactory fiber counts from all final samples are to be less than 0.01 f/cc. If any of the final air samples contain greater than 0.01 f/cc, repeat the final cleaning operation and re-test the area until satisfactory clearance levels are obtained.

Collect five (5) PCM final air samples for the first 5,000 square feet of containment plus one (1) additional PCM final air sample for each additional 5,000 square feet or one (1) air sample per room, whichever is greater. The number of final air samples may be reduced for small enclosures of less than approximately 2500 square feet. In no case may fewer than two (2) final samples be collected for any enclosure.

Ensure clearance air sample volumes meet the minimum volumes as indicated for analysis by NIOSH 7400 method.
