This document incorporates relevant health and safety guidance developed for the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation's 130 Liberty Street building Deconstruct Project as described in their May 2005 Health and Safety Plan for that project.

Compliance with this HASP is required due to hazards associated with the Buildings' current condition and anticipated Abatement Phase activities. This HASP is based upon current knowledge of conditions at the Site and will be updated as new information (including personal and environmental sampling and field observations) becomes available and/or conditions change within the Building.

2.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES

This section identifies the principal hazards associated with the tasks to be performed during the cleaning, asbestos and COPC abatement, and interior component removal and conventional demolition activities, and establishes standard safety and health procedures for the Contractor, the Subcontractors and anyone who comes onto the site. The content of this HASP is designed to anticipate, identify, evaluate, and control safety and health hazards for the work activities to be performed during this project. All on-site work activities by any Subcontractors and their designees shall be performed in accordance with this HASP, and in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

The levels of personal protection and the procedures specified in this Plan are based on the best information available from validated reference sources (i.e., OSHA, NIOSH) and current site data. Therefore, the guidelines presented in this HASP represent the minimum health and safety requirements to be observed by all on-site personnel engaged in this project. Discovery of currently unknown site conditions or changes in the scope of work will necessitate the reassessment of the protection levels, controls, and procedures stated herein. All amendments to this HASP must be made in consultation with the Regulatory Agencies, and must have prior written approval by the Environmental Consultant's Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) and the Contractor's Project Manager.
