within the exhaust ventilation system before moving on to the next grille. HEPA vacuum
or wet-wipe interior surfaces of the temporary containment prior to dismantling or
moving to another location. Place all waste in 6 mil polyethylene bags for disposal as
asbestos-containing waste.
14. Clean the bottom of the riser using a HEPA vacuum to collect any debris that has fallen
to the bottom.
15. Disengage the local capture system and relocate to another section of the riser or to
another riser.
15. Ensure that the occupant space is free of any debris associated with the duct cleaning
process. Use HEPA vacuums and/or wet wiping to clean the space, as needed. Place
waste and debris into 6 mil polyethylene bags for disposal as asbestos-containing waste.
16. Perform all duct cleaning work in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
17. All work will be accomplished by a DEP certified Asbestos Handlers.
18. All work will be supervised by a DEP certified Asbestos Handler Supervisor.
19. Workers will utilize Inface APR’s equipped with P-100 filters, eye protection and fiill
body coveralls during the cleaning process.
20. 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 of the system components. All specified cleaning is being performed after
the installation of negative pressure ventilation equipment and system isolation devices.
The existing dust/debris conditions and required engineering controls for the cleaning
indicate that personal air samples are not expected to exceed 0.1 ftcc. The cleaning
contractor shall collect personal air samples on workers and submit the results of
sampling within 48 hours. Based on the above, the work area will not be considered as
regulated area. In the event large accumulations of dust/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.
