1.7 ABATEMENT OF MATERIALS CONTAINING ASBESTOS

A. GLOVE BAG OPERATIONS - The “Glove Bag” method provides a safe means for removal of small amounts of ACM on pipes and in small surface areas. The following procedures should be followed when the glove bag method is used to remove ACM.

1. Utilize personal protective clothing, such as the “Tyvek” suits, gloves and a respirator that has been provided and fitted by EH&S.

2. Isolate the area where the ACM is located. Place barrier tape across the doorways and at least 20 feet around the area where the ACM is located.

3. Place 6-mil plastic sheeting under the glove bag set-up.

4. Ensure that all ventilation units that service the area where the ACM is located are shut off and tagged out.

5. Don the respirator and perform a “negative” and “positive” pressure test. If you are unable to obtain a successful pressure test on the respirator, SPECIAL CONDITIONS (OSHA & ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION) 01120 - 3/5 see your supervisor. DO NOT PROCEED WITH ACM WORK

WITHOUT A PROPER RESPIRATOR FIT.

6. Determine the area where the ACM is to be removed. Place the glove bag next to the pipe and measure how much area will need to be removed.

Tape the area on the pipe to delineate the area from which ACM will be removed. Tape the bottom seam of the glove bag. Slit the side seams of the glove bag to fit the pipe diameter. Seal the sides and top seam with tape after placing the necessary tools into the bag. Cut a small hole in the bag in the same area where the wetting wand will be placed during the actual ACM removal stage. Fill the bag with smoke from the smoke tube and seal the hole. Gently squeeze the bag and observe any leaking areas.

Tape the leaking areas to achieve an airtight seal. If the pipe lagging is badly damaged or deteriorated the ACM may require wetting or taping to prevent a further release of fibers.

7. Most glove bags will melt or deteriorate at temperatures of 130o F or more. For steam or hot water lines, therefore, it may be necessary to shut off the pipe valve to ensure that the bag does not deteriorate or that the worker does not receive burns.

8. Wet the ACM completely prior to removal and keep the ACM wet during the removal process. Use amended water in an airless spray pump.

A hand spray bottle may also be used. The hole created for the spray wand can also be used for the HEPA vacuum nozzle.

9. All visible ACM must be removed from the pipe using a hard brush and amended water while the glove bag is still in place. Wet wipe and spray the pipe with encapsulant prior to removing the glove bag. Special attention must be given to exposed ends of pipe lagging.

10. Place all tools into one of the armholes and pull inside out. Tape and cut the arm from the glove bag and remove the tools while they are still sealed in the arm or glove.

11. Wet the inside of the bag with amended water and place the vacuum nozzle into the bag to cause the bag to collapse. Unseal the bag and remove from the pipe. Place the bag into another 6-mil asbestos waste bag and seal tightly. This bag must be marked as an ASBESTOS DISPOSAL BAG with the proper Danger and warning labels:

SPECIAL CONDITIONS (OSHA & ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION) 01120 - 4/5

DANGER

Contains Asbestos Fibers

Avoid Creating Dust Cancer and Lung Disease Hazard

12. The exposed section of pipe will now be closed and sealed with a non-asbestos material.

13. If the remaining pipe contains ACM, the pipe must be labeled

“DANGER ASBESTOS MATERIAL.”

1.8 BACK FLOW PREVENTORS

A. The contractor shall install back flow preventors on any connection made to public water utilities.

1.9 SARA TITLE III

A. The contractor shall report the usage of any SARA (Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act) Title III Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) (list found in Appendix A of 40 CFR 355) to the COTR at or before the preconstruction meeting.

2.0 USE OF PRIMERS AND PAINTS

A. The contractor shall not use any primers or paint that contain lead, chromium, cadmium, and barium without the written consent of the Environmental Officer.
