3 1.0 POLICY It is the policy of California State University, Sacramento to conduct all asbestos operations in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and sound health and safety practices. The policy is to immediately remove or repair all asbestos containing materials that pose a significant health hazard due to location or condition. Asbestos that is in good condition will be maintained in a condition that will not produce a significant risk to CSUS personnel. Asbestos containing material will be removed, repaired and/or protected prior to planned renovations, demolitions, or modifications that may result in its disturbance. All removal and repairs shall be conducted in a safe manner that is consistent with applicable regulations and recognized good practice. 2.0 PURPOSE This document provides a framework of procedures, which describe how Facilities Management personnel provide management, control and abatement services regarding asbestos. A key part of this framework is the operation of Team 900, a small group of Facilities Management employees who perform a narrowly defined set of asbestos abatement and asbestos management activities. Abatement activities are limited to repair or renovation of asbestos material with an area less than 100 square feet. Team 900 activities will generally follow the recommendations in the NIBS manual. Sample procedures for common activities are located in Appendix A. Asbestos abatement activities exceeding the Team 900 limitations will be performed by an asbestos contractor. Oversight will be provided by the Asbestos Program Manager or outside consultant. 3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES A. Asbestos Program Manager 1. Ensure written notification has been provided by the abatement contractor to the SMAQMD at least ten working days in advance of all demolitions involving removal of RACM greater than or equal to 260 linear feet, 100 ft2, or 35 ft3. 2. Submit annual written notification to SMAQMD of cumulative renovations (during a calendar year) that involve reportable amounts of RACM. 3.

6 INTRODUCTION A work request for asbestos work is generated through one of four routes: 1. A work request for in-house projects. 2. A work request for contractor projects. 3. A work request received by a craft worker who determines a job will disturb ACM while in the field. 4. Emergency work. Prior to work being assigned to Team 900, a maintenance work order is delivered to Facilities Customer Service. Customer Service then issues a Work Order, or Customer Service sends on an "emergency" basis, Facilities Management staff to a site or scene. If responding staff have concerns for the possibility that asbestos-containing material is involved, they notify their supervisor who notifies the Appropriate Administrator. The Appropriate Administrator either confirms the absence of asbestos containing material, or notifies Customer Service that a HOLD has been placed on the Work Order because of the potential presence of asbestos containing material. Refer these Work Orders to EH&S for assessment. EH&S performs any necessary testing, maintains the chain of custody for all samples, uses the Database, and either: Determines that there is no asbestos containing material involved and sends the Work Order back to Customer Service, or Determines that the job is appropriate for referral to Team 900 and sends the Work Order back to Customer Services, or Arranges for an Asbestos Contractor to perform the necessary work. In the event of an emergency, EH&S notifies the Director of Plant Services or the Associate Vice President of Facilities Management of the need to close specific facilities/ services. When Customer Service then refers Team 900 Work Orders to the Manager, Building Trades, these Team 900 (Asbestos) Policies and Procedures take effect. 6

7 Work Request Outside Contractor Jobs In House Projects Previously unidentified ACM identified by trade worker in the field. Stops work and contacts Customer Service. Emergency Asbestos Work Project Designer scopes job. Contractor performs work. Estimating scopes work. Customer Service creates a child work order linked to the original. Assess area of ACM to be removed or samples needed. Project Designer sends copy of paperwork to EH&S. Program Manager updates database and files. Issue Team 900 Work Order to Team 900 Supervisor. Team 900 Supervisor assesses data, request samples. Close Work Order. No Asbestos Present? 7 Yes

8 Asbestos is present. Parent Work Order from unrelated work updated as necessary for work to resume. Estimator receives copy of the results and updates work order to include the asbestos results. Team 900 job review Team 900 completes job and required paperwork. Team 900 Supervisor sends paperwork to Asbestos Program Manager. Submit paperwork and job close to Team 900 Supervisor. Program Manager updates database. and files. 8

9 Asbestos Management Process OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Work Request Work request, whether verbal or written, routine or emergency, internally or externally generated, will follow standard processing through the Facilities Customer Service. A work order number will be assigned to each work request. Emergency requests generate rapid response work orders, which are not reviewed prior to assignment. Assess Work Requirements Upon receiving a number assignment, the work order is submitted to the Planner/Estimator/Scheduler to assess the work requirements of each request and any ACM materials that may be involved. Individuals who would assess work requirements: Auggie Johnson - Trades-related and Charge-back maintenance work orders Paul Serafimidis - BSE maintenance work orders Don Hendricks - back-up for the first two assessors Within O & M Guidelines If the work falls within the O & M guidelines, a work order is issued to the appropriate shop(s) for execution and completion. (See Asbestos Work Classes) Exceeds O & M Criteria If the work exceeds the O & M criteria, the following sequence of events takes place: A. Review of Asbestos Database A review of the asbestos database is made by the assigned individual who assesses the work requirements. If the proposed work is found to be free and clear of asbestos (as verified by the database), then a work order is issued for execution and completion. B. Questionable or Positive Should the database not contain sufficient information or indicates questionable or positive results, a work request in the form of a "800" work order, is then to be assigned by W.O. assessors to an Asbestos Inspector for further evaluation to be completed within the required time frame. 9

10 Individuals Qualified as Asbestos Building Inspectors: Bruce Balon Don Hendricks Jon Payne Richard Clack Auggie Johnson Steve Leland C. Site Visit, Assessment, Sampling 1) If the database indicates a positive result in the area where the work is to be performed, the inspector visits the site and makes a physical inspection of the proposed work. Samples are taken as needed at the site where the work is intended, and are delivered to a registered testing facility for analysis. 2) The inspector receives the results, prepares a report and attaches it to the "800" work order. a) If the sample is negative, the results are noted on the work order and all appropriate documents are submitted to the Customer Service Center for issuance. b) If the sample is positive, the results are noted on the work order and other documents. All documents are then forwarded to the Asbestos Program Coordinator. The Asbestos Program Coordinator evaluates the data and scope of work as urgency dictates and determines if the scope of the work is within the Team 900 guidelines. D. Within Team 900 Guidelines 1) If the scope of the work is found to be within Team 900 guidelines, the Asbestos Program Coordinator determines which approved procedure to use. Any modifications to the approved procedures must be reviewed by the Asbestos Program Manager. The coordinator sends all documents to Customer Service. 2) Customer Service then releases a work order with all instructions and issues it to either Auggie Johnson (Team 900 Crafts supervisor) or Paul Serafimidis (Team 900 BSE supervisor) to correct problem or condition with notations of required protocols. 3) The Asbestos Program Manager, or designee, completes necessary air samples and/or performs a visual inspection if required a) If the air samples fail to meet clearance criteria or visual inspection fails to meet criteria, the work order is returned to Team 900 for additional cleanup. 10

11 b) If the air samples meet clearance criteria or upon satisfactory visual inspection, Asbestos Program Manager signs documents and forwards all documents the Asbestos Program Coordinator. 4) The Asbestos Program Manager reviews the documents and returns them to the Customer Service Center. 5) Customer Service Center closes the work order and files all copies/documents with the exception of sample reports which are sent to EH&S for entry into database and filing. E. Beyond Team(s) 900/920 Guidelines 1) If the determination is made that the project is beyond Team 900 guidelines, the designated manager shall perform the duties described in Section 3. 11

12 Asbestos Handling Procedures Asbestos Abatement Procedure All asbestos projects must be completed in accordance with the following procedures to ensure compliance with regulations and proper tracking of ACM on campus. 1 Complete the Asbestos Job Review Sheet for each job. This must include the sampling information to ensure accurate documentation of employee exposure. 2. Complete the Work Inspection Form. 3. Complete the Clearance Monitoring Form (EH&S) if required. 4. Submit a copy of the key plan identifying the location of the work. 5. Complete the Equipment & Supplies Form to allow accurate charge-back. 12

13 ASBESTOS CONTAINING PIPE INSULATION Asbestos containing pipe insulation repair/replacement jobs require the use of glove bags, and at least two employees. A third employee is often useful in assisting with supplies, performing air monitoring, and assisting with "crowd" control. Glove bags should never be used on hot pipes (over 130 F.). 1. Gather the tools needed to perform a glovebag job (glovebag[s], pump garden type sprayer, amended water, duct tape, disposal bags, smoke tubes with aspirator bulb. HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner, boning saw, utility knife with retractable blade, wire cutter, tin snips [if aluminum jacket is present], 4 mil or 6 nil ply, small scrub brush, stapler, rags, wettable cloth, warning signs and labels, reinsulation materials), and appropriate personal protective equipment (Tyvek suits, gloves respirators). 2. Secure the work area and appropriately post signs, barrier tape, etc. 3. Don appropriate personal protective equipment. Remember that the hood goes over the top of the respirator straps. 4. Examine the pipe where the work will be performed. If it is damaged (broken lagging, hanging, etc.), wrap the entire length of the pipe in poly and "candy stripe" it with duct tape. 5. If the pipe is undamaged, place one layer of duct tape around the pipe at each location where a glovebag will be attached. 6. Reinforced the bottom of the glovebag with a full length strip of duct tape, then slit the top of the glovebag open (if necessary) and cut down the sides to accommodated the size of the pipe (approximately two inches longer than the pipe diameter). 7. Place the necessary tools into the pouch located inside the glovebag. 8. Place one strip of duct tape along the edge of the open top slit of the glovebag for reinforcement. 9. Place the glovebag around the section of pipe to be worked on and staple the top together through the reinforcing duct tape. Staple at intervals of approximately one inch, then fold the stapled top flat back and tape it down with a strip of duct tape. Next, duct tape the ends of the glovebag to the pipe itself, previously covered with plastic or duct tape (step 3 or 4 above). 10. Using the smoke tube and aspirator bulb, place the tube into the water sleeve (twoinch opening to glovebag), and squeeze the bulb to fill the bag with visible smoke. Remove the smoke tube and twist the water sleeve closed. While holding the water sleeve tightly, gently squeeze the glovebag and look for smoke leaking out, especially at the tip and ends of the glovebag. If you find leaks, tape them closed with duct tape and retest the bag with smoke. 13

14 11. Insert the water sprayer wand through the water sleeve and tape the water sleeve tightly around the wand to prevent air leakage. 12. One person operates the water pump; the second person places his/her hands into the long-sleeved gloves in the glovebag. 13. If the section of pipe is covered with an aluminum jacket, first remove the jacket, using wire cutters to cut any bands and the tin snips to remove the aluminum. Fold all sharp edges to prevent cutting the bag. Use caution to avoid cutting yourself! 14. With the insulation exposed, use the bone saw to cut the insulation at each end of the section to be removed inside the glovebag. Spray water on the cutting area throughout this process to minimize dust. 15. Once the ends are cut, slit the section of insulation along the bottom from end to end using the utility knife. Some insulation may have wires to be clipped as well. Keep the cutting area wet. Use the knife with caution so as not to cut the bag or yourself. 16. Spray all tools used with water inside the bag, then return the tools to the pouch. 17. Lift the insulation off the pipe and place it gently into the bottom of the bag. 18. Using the scrub brush, rags and water (or inexpensive horse rub-down mittens) scrub and wipe down the exposed pipe inside the glove bag. 19. Wet the fiber cloth repair material, and place it over the exposed ends of insulation. Use several pieces as necessary. Pre-cut strips with side cuts every inch half-way into the cloth along one edge work especially well. 20. Remove the water wand from the water sleeve and attach the small nozzle from the HEPA- filtered vacuum. Turn on the vacuum only briefly to collapse the bag. 21. Remove the vacuum nozzle and twist the water sleeve closed, then seal it with duct tape. 22. From outside the bag, pull the tool pouch away from the bag and twist it to separate it from the bag. Place duct tape over the twisted portion and then cut the tool bag from the glovebag, cutting through the twisted/taped section. In this manner, the contaminated tools may be placed directly into the next glovebag without cleaning. Alternatively, the tool pouch with the tools can be placed in a bucket of water, opened under water, and the tools cleaned and dried without releasing asbestos into the air. Note: Rags and scrub brushes cannot be cleaned in this manner and should be discarded with the asbestos waste. 23. With the removed insulation and debris in the bottom of the bag, twist the bag several times and tape it (this keeps the material in the bottom of the bag). 14

15 24. Slip an appropriately labeled six-mil disposal bag over the glove bag (still attached to the pipe). Remove the tape and open the top of the glove bag and fold it down into the disposal bag. 25. Remove the disposable suits and place them into the bag with the waste. 26. Twist the top of the bag closed, fold it over (gooseneck) and seal with duct tape. Label the bag with your name and the project location. 27. Remove all barriers and restriction, and restore HVAC if required. 28. Use a clean, damp rag to wipe the exterior of the respirator and leave the work area. Remove the respirator. 29. Use the HEPA vacuum to evacuate excess air from the bag, seal (gooseneck) the asbestos disposal bag with duct tape, label it with your name and the location of the project, deliver them to the Hazardous Waste Storage Facility (NDL). 30. Complete all asbestos control documentation and return them to the Asbestos Program Coordinator. 15

16 ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE REMOVAL PROCEDURES A restricted area has been ensured by the Certified Supervisor. 1. Pre-clean area (HEPA vacuum, wet wipe). 2.
