16. Disengage the local capture system and relocate to another section of the duct to
be
cleaned.
17. Prior to dismantling work area preparations, clean the interior walls of temporary
containments using wet-wiping or HEPA _vacuum methods. The cleaning of work area
preparations is a precautionary measure intended to minimize the potential for spreading
dust or debris outside of the work area.
18. Occupied areas or common areas in which fan unit cleaning is accomplished, will be
cleaned as common spaces using the common space unit prices, immediately after the
HVAC cleaning is complete.
19. Place waste and debris into 6 mil polyethylene bags for disposal as asbestos-containing
waste. Waste and debris from cleaning operations will be handled as asbestos-containing
waste as a precaution.
20. Perform all duct cleaning work in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
21. All work will be accomplished by DEP certified Asbestos Handlers.
22. All work will be supervised by a DEP certified Asbestos Handler Supervisor.
23. All work will be overseen by a NADCA certified ASCS or equivalent.
24. Workers will utilize /2 face APR's equipped with P-100 filters, eye protection and full
body coveralls during the cleaning process.
25. In most cases minimal dust accumulations were observed on components and the system
has been in operation for over a year, large amounts of debris are not expected during
dismantling and cleaning of the system components. All specified cleaning is being
performed after the installation of negative pressure ventilation equipment and system
isolation devices. To date, none of personal air samples collected during the indoor dust
cleaning program exceeded 0.1 f/cc asbestos. Based on past personal monitoring results
which was conducted during Scope A and Scope B cleanings, previous residential
monitoring, the condition of the systems to be cleaned and the required engineering
controls which contain and move dust within the ventilation system thereby keeping it
away from the workers breathing zone, it is reasonable to expect that personal air samples
will not exceed 0.1 f/cc. Based on the above, the work area will not be considered as
regulated area. The cleaning contractor shall collect personal air samples on workers and
submit the results of sampling within 48 hours to establish personal exposure data for this
work. If large accumulations of dust or debris are observed during the work or personal
air samples exceed 0.1 f/cc work practices and engineering controls will be reevaluated
and revised accordingly.
