GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Potential Asbestos Hazard The disturbance or dislocation of asbestos-containing materials may cause asbestos fibers to be released into the building's atmosphere, thereby creating a potential health hazard to workmen and building occupants. Apprise all workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors and consultants who will be at the jobsite of the seriousness of the hazard and of proper work procedures which must be followed.

Where in the performance of the work, workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors, or consultants may encounter, disturb, or otherwise function in the immediate vicinity of any identified asbestos-containing materials, take appropriate continuous measures as necessary to protect all building occupants from the potential hazard of exposure to airborne asbestos.

Such measures shall include the procedures and methods described herein, and compliance with regulations of applicable federal, state, and local agencies.

Contractor Use of Premises Gibraltar School District shall designate and provide space for the loading and unloading of equipment and project materials.

Electrical power and city water will be available to the contractor. Sewer facilities to receive properly filtered project waste water will be available.

Contractor employees are forbidden from smoking in the buildings.

The Contractor shall not go into any other area than where he is working except as necessary to gain access to the work area.

Electrical Safety The importance of electrical safety cannot be overemphasized.

7.0 ASBESTOS REMOVAL PROCEDURES

Related Documents

Drawings, general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions, and other Specification sections apply to the work of this section.

CLASS 2 ASBESTOS REMOVAL AREAS

This section describes the procedures that will be used for determining the acceptability of the Work as determined by:

A) Adherence to OSHA work procedures, B) Visual inspection by the Consultant C) Final PCM air clearances below 0.01 f/cc

All OSHA Class 1 and Class 2 removal work must be done in accordance with the OSHA asbestos standard 29 CFR 1926.1101.

Release Criteria - Containment Areas

There are three criteria for acceptability of removal work conducted within containment areas, they are:

a) The work procedures meet the requirements.

b) The Visual Inspection is satisfactory.

c) All PCM air samples are below 0.01 f/cc

If any of these requirements are not met the Contractor shall reclean as necessary to achieve the required results.

8.0 ISOLATION AREAS

CLASS 2 ACM MATERIALS:

The Contractor shall set up the work area isolation/decontamination facilities consisting of three areas as follows:

• The equipment room shall be an area of sufficient size so as to accommodate at least one worker (allowing enough room to remove protective clothing), a 6 mil disposal bag and container, and any equipment which the Contractor wishes to store when not in use.

• The wash room shall have two curtained doorways of opaque polyethylene film, one to the work area and one to the uncontaminated area. At least one shower with shower head supplied with hot and cold water or warm water shall be installed in this room for personnel decontamination. This room shall also be equipped with high pressure, low volume sprays to be used for the decontamination of disposal containers and equipment. The wash room shall be constructed so that all waste water is collected and pumped through a five (5) micron filter system.

• Filtrate shall be disposed of as contaminated waste. From the filter, wastewater shall be drained off in any conventional manner to a sanitary wastewater system. Careful attention shall be paid to the construction of the shower to insure that it is watertight. No leakage shall be permitted. The Contractor shall supply and maintain soap, shampoo and disposable towels at all times in the shower area.

• The clean room shall be of sufficient size to accommodate at least one worker, towels for the workers, and storage for street clothing. The clean room shall be in the uncontaminated area.

If the work area isolation structure fails to prevent air flow out of the work area during personnel or equipment movement through the isolation structure, additional air locks shall be installed until air flow is eliminated.

Construction of Work Area Isolation Structures:

The wash room shall be constructed of 6 mil polyethylene and suitable framing so as to make it as airtight as possible. Where joining separate sheets of polyethylene is necessary, taping alone shall not be sufficient. The sheets of polyethylene shall be overlapped at least 3 inches and joined with an unbroken line of adhesive in such a manner as to prohibit air movement; tape shall then be used to further seal the joint on both the inside and outside of the chamber.

Work area isolation structure shall be constructed to prohibit passers-by from casually observing activities within the work area isolation structure or dressing areas in the uncontaminated area. The clean room and equipment room shall be constructed to permit workers to privately dress and undress.

Other work area isolation systems shall be considered as long as they maintain the intended integrity of this system. Any proposed changes must be submitted in writing (with drawings) prior to commencement of work and must be approved in writing.

Maintenance of Isolation Systems and Barriers:

Ensure that barriers are effectively sealed and taped. Repair damaged barriers and remedy defects immediately upon discovery.

Visually inspect all enclosures at the beginning of each work period, and intermittently thereafter.

Smoke test methods must be used by the Contractor to test work areas daily from the time negative pressure is first established until final clearance is accomplished. The negative pressure shall be maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. At no time shall the Contractor allow air to flow from the work area (including periods when asbestos hazard abatement work is not in progress) except through an AFD exhausting HEPA-filtered air outside the building.

The Contractor shall provide local exhaust and ventilation within the work area with the flow of air away from the workers.

Local Exhaust and Ventilation (LEV) means to extract contaminated air from the immediate vicinity of the workers with uncontaminated air, so as to reduce the worker's exposure to concentrations of airborne fiber during the work.

9.0 EMERGENCY PROTECTION

Prepare a contingency plan for emergencies including fire, accident, power failure, negative pressure system failure, supplied air system failure, or any other event that may require modification or abridgment of decontamination or work area isolation procedures.

Include in plan specific procedures for decontamination or work area isolation. Note that nothing in this plan should impede safe exiting or providing of adequate medical attention in the event of an emergency.

The Contractor shall establish emergency and fire entrances and exits to work areas. All emergency entrances shall be equipped with two (2) full sets of protective clothing and respirators at all times. The Contractor shall mark all exits from the work area so that they are readily visible in the event of an emergency.

The Contractor shall be prepared to administer first aid to injured personnel after decontamination. Seriously injured personnel shall be treated immediately or evacuated without delay for decontamination. When an injury occurs the Contractor shall stop work and implement fiber reduction techniques (e.g., wetting asbestos-containing materials) until the injured person has been removed from the work area.

The Contractor shall post in the clean room the numbers and locations of emergency services including but not limited to fire, ambulance, doctor, hospital, police, power company, and telephone company.

10.0 FACILITY PROTECTION

The Contractor shall comply with OSHA and EPA regulations concerning signs and labeling.

Facility Protection

All existing fire protection and alarm systems, both within and without the work area, shall be maintained in proper working order throughout the asbestos hazard abatement project.

In the event that any area of the building or any area outside the building is contaminated by Contractor activities (except the isolated work areas after asbestos hazard asbestos hazard abatement work commences and the disposal landfill), the Contractor shall bear all expenses for determination of the contamination and necessary decontamination.

11.0 DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING WASTE MATERIALS

Comply with the multiple codes and regulations which apply to this work.

Submittals

In addition to the submittals required by regulation, provide to Consultant a copy of the EPA or State asbestos landfill permit.

Removal Activities As the asbestos-containing material and contaminated waste accumulates, it must be kept wet and promptly placed in disposal containers. Actual configuration of disposal containers will comply with local EPA District and/or landfill requirements, but as a minimum disposal con-tainers shall be two 6-mil polyethylene bags (one inside the other, both separately sealed).

All polyethylene film, tape, cleaning material, and all other disposable material or items used in the work area shall be treated as contaminated waste.

As disposal containers are filled, they shall be sealed and moved to a staging area adjacent to the work area isolation structure. The Contractor shall remove waste materials from within the work area on a regular basis, and not permit accumulation of disposal containers to obstruct work progress or building exit ways.

Disposal containers may be temporarily stored at the site, outside the work area, if secured in a van-type or semi-trailer truck that is completely and securely lined with polyethylene film, including a curtained doorway at the opening. A similarly sealed, enclosed and locked container is also acceptable.

Disposal containers shall not be loaded so as to make handling unduly difficult or unsafe, or threaten the integrity of the container, polyethylene barriers or building structures.

Warning labels, having waterproof print and permanent adhesive, shall be affixed to the sides of the disposal containers (unless the containers have pre-printed labels). Warning labels shall be conspicuous and legible, and they shall be in accordance with EPA, OSHA and DOT regulations. All disposal bags or containers shall also have the Generator name, address, etc. in accordance with current NESHAP regulations.

All waste disposal containers shall be decontaminated and removed from the work area before final clean up is started and the isolation barrier is taken down.

12.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN

Plan Submittals:

Prepare a Contingency Plan for emergencies including fire, accident, power failure, negative air system failure, supplied air system failure, or any other event that may require modification or abridgment of decontamination or work area isolation procedures. Include in the plan specific procedures for decontamination or work area isolation. List the telephone numbers and locations of the emergency services, including but not limited to fire, ambulance, doctor, hospital, police, power company and telephone company. Note that nothing in this specification should impede safe exiting or providing adequate medical attention in the event of an emergency.
