2.2.4 Chemical Hazards
A chemical hazard that may be encountered during this project is asbestos. Based upon
the most recent pre-demolition asbestos survey conducted by Airtek environmental Corp.,
approximately 50 linear feet of friable, and 400 square feet of non-friable asbestos-
containing material has been identified. In addition, WTC dust with assumed varying
concentrations of some COPCs, has been identified during visual inspection of the site.
Therefore, the Contractor shall ensure that all site employees receive the required training
concerning asbestos as well as all applicable Hazard Communication training.
In addition, personnel who have the potential to disturb ACBM shall be trained
concerning the procedures to be used and requirements for notifications in accordance
with federal, state and local regulations. Personnel who handle ACBM on this job shall
have the required documented training and certificates. Each employee involved in
abatement activities must have completed City of New York asbestos training, shall be a
certified asbestos worker and/or supervisor by the City of New York, and shall be
certified asbestos handler and/or supervisor by the New York State Department of Labor.
Additionally, personnel who will conduct cleaning and abatement activities must have
additionally received the required 40-hour training as outlined by 29 CFR 1910.120(a) (i)
(HAZWOPER requirement) and appropriate annual refresher training as required. This
HAZWOPER training requirement may be removed, should sampling indicate training
requirement downgrade is appropriate. Training, medical and license documentation for
each Subcontractor employee shall be verified by the HASP AM prior to start of work by
the Subcontractor.
