Notify the Contracting Officer and Project Manager immediately of any airborne levels of asbestos fibers in excess of the acceptable limits (typically background level or

0.010 f/cc as determined on a case by case basis). Submit sampling results to the Government Project Manager and the affected Contractor’ employees where required by law; include sampling Chain of Custody signed by the testing laboratory/employee performing air sampling analysis. Notify the Contractor, Base Asbestos Personnel and the Contracting Officer immediately of any variance in the pressure differential which could cause adjacent unsealed areas to have asbestos fiber concentrations in excess of 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter or background (if allowed/used) as applicable. In no circumstance shall levels exceed 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter.

1.5.6 Pressure Differential Recordings for Local Exhaust System

Provide a local exhaust system that creates a negative pressure of at least

0.025 inches of water relative to the pressure external to the enclosure and operate it continuously, 24 hours a day, until the temporary enclosure of the asbestos control area is removed. Submit pressure differential recordings for each work day to the PQP and Government Project Manager for review within 24 hours, or as requested, from the end of each work day.

1.6 EQUIPMENT

1.6.1 Rental Equipment

Any equipment rented and delivered to the site for the purpose of conducting asbestos abatement work must be accompanied with documentation verifying that the rental agency has been notified, and acknowledges receipt of notification that the equipment being rented will be used for asbestos abatement work.

This documentation must be submitted to the Project Monitor prior to the equipment being delivered to the job site. Rental equipment, including scaffolding, will be held to the same standard of cleanliness as all other equipment on this project.

All rented equipment must be inspected and accepted by the Project Monitor as it arrives onsite. Any equipment covered with dust (no matter the source of dust), plaster debris, multiple layers of encapsulant and/or spray glue, or any other debris will not be accepted. Delays caused by a lack of clean equipment will not extend Contractor’s schedule. Equipment rejected due to a lack of cleanliness must be removed from Owner’s grounds in order to be cleaned. Dirty equipment wrapped in plastic will not be acceptable.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EQUIPMENT

At all times, provide the Government Project Manager or the Government Project Manager Representative, with complete sets of personal protective equipment as required for entry to and inspection of the asbestos control area.

3.1.1 Respirators

All respiratory protection shall be provided to workers in accordance with the submitted written respiratory protection program, which includes all items as required by OSHA. This program shall be posted in the clean room of the worker decontamination enclosure system or adjacent to the clean room.

The Contractor shall ensure that all workers entering the regulated area wear appropriate respiratory protection. Respiratory protection provided workers shall be in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134, 8 CCR 1529, and 8 CCR 5144 and the respiratory protection program submitted by the Contractor.

This program shall be available at the worksite.

The Project Monitor, EAFB or their representative may deny access to the regulated area to anyone who, in the final judgment of the Project Monitor, SECTION 02080 - Page 18

FA9301-15-R-0005, Attachment 2, Appendix A Asbestos Specifications Page 19 of 63 is not properly wearing adequate respiratory protection for the project conditions. This includes but is not limited to those wearing unidentified respirators, those with improperly sealed respirators, those wearing respirators in an improper manner such as over their protective suit hood, or in any other fashion judged by the on-site Project Monitor (or Owner Representative) to be improper or inadequate to protect the individual from the airborne asbestos at the project site.

The Contractor shall provide each worker needing respiratory protection with his or her own, individually identified, NIOSH-approved respirator. At a minimum, these respirators will be equipped with a P-100 series HEPA filter.

The Contractor shall provide additional filter types if that becomes necessary for specific hazards discovered on the job site or if required in the contract documents.

The Contractor shall ensure that all workers use the respirator in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and care of that product.

Workers must perform positive and negative air pressure fit tests each time a respirator is put on, whenever the respirator design so permits. Powered air purifying respirators shall be tested for adequate flow as specified by the manufacturer before every entry into the work space. Respirators that do not meet the minimum flow as specified shall be taken out of service or repaired as necessary.

Workers shall be given, at least, a qualitative fit test in accordance with procedures detailed in the Cal/OSHA requirements for all respirators to be used on this abatement project. An appropriately administered quantitative fit test may be substituted for the qualitative fit test.

The Contractor shall ensure and provide written records to the Project Monitor that all workers wearing tight-fitting respirators have been appropriately fit tested in accordance with the requirements of 8 CCR 5144.

The Contractor shall ensure that nothing interferes with the seal of the respirator to the face of the worker. This includes but is not limited to facial hair, clothing, protective clothing, equipment or anything else that comes between the respirator and the face of the worker.

Workers conducting any work that may create an airborne release of asbestos must wear appropriate respiratory protection. This includes, but is not limited to the pre-cleaning of asbestos contamination of furniture, equipment and floors, waste handling and the set-up of contaminated work areas.

In no event will a negative exposure assessment be allowed to lower respiratory protection, from that listed in this specification or required by regulation in the absence of an NEA, prior to the start of a project.

Air samples used for negative exposure assessments created after the project has started must be from work conducted under this contract and individual project(s).

Minimum Respiratory Protection for OSHA Class I Work Unless specified differently in the contract documents, the Contractor’s employees conducting Class I work will wear tight-fitting, full-face powered-air purifying respirators for all Class I work. Contract documents

SECTION 02080 - Page 19

FA9301-15-R-0005, Attachment 2, Appendix A Asbestos Specifications Page 20 of 63 may require additional respiratory protection, such as the use of supplied air respirator systems if, in the opinion of the Project Monitor or Owner, the airborne asbestos levels are expected to exceed one fiber per cubic centimeter of air (1 f/cc).

After work has begun, if the Contractor wishes to lower respiratory protection requirements, such as for glovebag or other work, he or she must demonstrate to the Project Monitor that personal air sampling results from that project prove that airborne fiber levels are below the Cal/OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit. The Project Monitor will normally require sampling results used for this purpose to include several days of sampling taken during the work expected to generate the highest airborne levels. The Project Monitor will submit a written request for respirator reduction to the Owner Asbestos Representatives, who will have final authority regarding whether or not the respiratory protection may be reduced below the need for powered-air purifying respirators.

Unless stated otherwise in the contract documents, for the purposes of respiratory protection, Class I work will include the removal of materials such as…
