The summary of our recommendations is as follows:

1. Develop a site-specific H&S plan or program that covers the many changing operations and duties of the NYPD personnel on this project This plan must address the following: - Task Hazards and Controls - Decontamination and Clean-up • Site Control - Emergency and Contingency Procedures - Air monitoring and Exposure Assessments - Respirator and Personal Protective Equipment Usage - Hazard Communication

2. Designate an individual or group who is responsible for implementing the Site Specific H&S plan for the NYPD personnel onsite. This personfs) must be competent to run the safety and industrial hygiene aspects of the project while being the liaison between other H&S personnel representing the EPA, FBI and others.

3. Commence an air sampling program to document that support areas are safe and that NYPD personnel are being adequately protected while performing the many tasks in this project Mesults of the asbestos air sampling should be made available within 24 hours of collecting the samples. Other contaminants should be included to ensure that there are no other exposure concerns not currently being addressed.

4. Implement a quality respirator protection program. At minimum bring medical personnel onsite to certify that NYPD personnel can wear the respirators, adequately train everyone on respirator use, provide onsite fit-testing as required and require everyone to be clean shaven before each shift.

5. Develop a strategy and means to communicate to all NYPD personnel what hazards exist at this site and how NYPD is taking measures to control these hazards.

6. Develop a strategy to coordinate site H&S activities and information so that information gathered by other agencies and contractors is shared with the NYPD.
