Section 380:50-17-7 - Asbestos abatement enclosure procedures

Asbestos abatement enclosure procedures are as follows:

(1) Isolate and clean the work area in accordance with Section 380:50-17-4.

(2) Spray areas that will be disturbed during the installation of hangers or other support/framing materials for the enclosure with water containing the specified surfactant. Keep these areas damp to reduce airborne fiber concentrations.

(3) Remove loose or hanging asbestos-containing materials in accordance with the requirements of Section 380:50-17-5.

(4) After installation of hangers and other fixing devices and before installation of enclosure, repair damaged areas of fire-proofing/thermal insulation materials as required using a non-asbestos-containing replacement material. Prepare surfaces and apply replacement material in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.

(5) Use hand tools equipped with HEPA filtered local exhaust ventilation to drill, cut into, or otherwise disturb asbestos-containing materials during the installation of support systems for the enclosures. (Alternatively, these areas of material could be removed prior to installation of supports.)

(6) Use materials that are impact resistant and that will provide an airtight barrier once construction is complete.

(7) Move utilities as necessary and reinstall in a manner which permits proper utilization and does not disturb the integrity of the enclosures.

(8) Enclosed asbestos-containing materials shall be designated in accordance with Section 380:50-17-6(8) in order to warn building maintenance personnel in the event they are required to disturb the enclosure.
